KUKI 02 KUKI 6+

We can dream big, no matter how small we are. We swing up to the moon and climb down into cosy mouseholes. On our cinematic adventures, we get close to the wonder of nature and experience that home is always where our loved ones are. Sometimes with and sometimes without words, whether animated, drawn or up close to the action, we let ourselves be enchanted and encouraged and face life in wonder.

Themes: Fantasy, refuge, migration, environment, travel, community, dreams, deafness, mourning, adventure, pets, family, siblings, friendship, science, outer space.
