In Hadu, a nostalgic and inspiring animated short film set in the 1990s, we follow Mimi, a passionate 10-year-old, on an extraordinary culinary adventure. Mimi attempts to recreate her grandmother's favourite recipe for a family gathering, in a cosy kitchen steeped in the charm of that era. With its distinct 1990s aesthetic, the film masterfully captures the essence of this period, evoking a sense of nostalgia.

Using her grandmother's recipe book, Mimi faces unexpected mistakes and culinary challenges. With the help of her grandmother's benevolent presence, they embark on a joyful adventure together, highlighting the eternal bonds created through cooking, memories and family relationships. Hadu not only celebrates the flavours of the 1990s, but also tells a touching story, thanks to its evocative narration and nostalgic atmosphere.
