Strange Creatures

Max opens the barn door and freezes: standing before him is a creature resembling a cross between a hedgehog and a cactus. Instead of fear, the boy extends his hand — and so begins the summer that changes everything. In a small town where adults have long forgotten how to believe in magic, children discover an entire colony of strange creatures that arrived from nowhere. The 2026 film, blending family drama with comedy, explores how childhood friendship with unearthly beings makes grown-ups remember what it means to be open to the world. While parents panic and call scientists, the children teach the creatures to play football and hide them in attics. But the secret can't last forever — soon they'll have to choose between the safety of familiar life and protecting their new friends.
