CANAL+ is the main partner of the Clermont Short Film Festival, the most important short film event in the world. As a tribute to the short film genre, CANAL has released a short film of its own. The short film "PAPA" will be shown at the festival and will be available on CANAL+ streaming platform.

The film takes place in a hospital room where a family has come together to say goodbye to their dying father/grandfather. The daughter tells her father that they are all there for him and his grandson will play his favourite piece on the violin. As he plays, the signal on the hospital monitor flatlines and the elderly man seems to have passed. His heart suddenly starts again but the monitor keeps stopping and starting and the family are getting more upset.

The film ends with a dark unexpected twist.

The film Papa got 50 000 views on twitter and on myCanal.
