In these animated stories, nature and friendship with it are in the spotlight. An architect discovers the mysterious power of caring for a small garden from the window, cows come to life in a mosaic full of humor and sensitivity, a little girl puts aside her video games and learns the beauty of the real world, and a citizen fights, alongside the community, for their urban garden.
From Korea to the Czech Republic and from the UK to France, these films invite children to discover biodiversity, appreciate green places, understand the importance of caring for animals, and dream of worlds where nature and people live together in balance.
A selection that combines dance, imagination and civic activity with current themes of housing, sustainability and protecting ecosystems.
