Guavas

About This Movie

Guavas is this quirky little gem from 2015 that blends live-action with puppetry in a way that's both charming and slightly offbeat. The setting, an apartment building in a quaint village, becomes a canvas for exploring whimsical themes of family and discovery through the eyes of young Billie. There’s this enchanting guava tree that serves as a focal point, representing curiosity and the joy of exploration. The characters are a mixed bag – some are warm and relatable, while others have this odd, almost antagonistic relationship with the guava tree. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of humor to land without rush. The puppetry is surprisingly expressive, adding an unusual layer to the narrative that elevates it beyond typical family fare.
