'Threads' is a Norwegian-Canadian animated short film, directed by Torill Kove and released in 2017.Jrme Delgado, [https://www.ledevoir.com/culture/cinema/513646/sommets-de-l-animation "Torill Kove, la cinaste montralaise la fiche parfaite"]. 'Le Devoir', November 23, 2017. Based on Kove's own experience as an adoptive parent, the film depicts a woman who catches a thread in the sky which carries her to a baby girl, whom she rears and remains connected to with a red thread of love and emotional connection until the girl is a young woman old enough to go seek her own thread of connection to a baby of her own.Stphane Dreyfus, [https://film-animation.blogs.la-croix.com/rubans-de-torill-kove-un-tres-joli-film-sur-ladoption/2018/09/16/ "Rubans, de Torill Kove : un trs joli film sur ladoption"].
