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.
The screenings are followed by discussions guided by a cultural mediator from the CULMEA team.
