🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The short film builds a bridge between childish rebellion and the need for comfort, using simple yet expressive animation. It relies on the classic book, exploring the boundaries of fantasy as a refuge.
What lingers after is an intimate, dreamlike journey to a world where fears take shape and loneliness dissolves upon returning home. — MovieFinder Editorial
