#set right in the moment Mirabel jumps off the horse and leave them alone

[dikanamai]

Another round of little details!

I've said it before, but the Brunito moment is one of my absolute favorites of the movie. However, besides the kiss, there's something else in this scene that always catches me:

The way Bruno reacts to his mother taking his hand.

He's totally in shock, he lets her kiss him without moving or complaining, but when Alma touches his hand, he reacts right away and takes her hand too. Even if it's a reflex response, he doesn't wait passively to be grabbed or leave his hand lifelessly in hers; he actively responds. And Alma doesn't even need to grip his hand first, because Bruno reacts at the mere touch, and turns his hand to meet hers and grip it too. He grips her hand tightly, and they squeeze each other's hand, while Bruno glances at them and gulps.

It's something very little, but I love it so much, not just because it's a loving gesture from Alma towards his son, but also an eager answer from Bruno towards his mother, revealing how much she means for him. After this, she takes him to the horse, still gripping his hand, and then offers him her hand again to help him get on the horse. Mirabel is the one guiding the animal to go back home, but the one taking Bruno along is Alma.

After all, Alma is the one bringing him home.

BONUS: a shot of Bruno's stunned face looking at his mother in the eye for the first time in ten years and discovering she rather hug him than punch him.
