REVIEWS:

Instant serotonin! The squishy animation, earthy color palette, and sleepy vibes — it’s like a cozy warm-up for the soul. I’d watch an entire series of this.

Sergio Castro Ruiz

A bright and beautiful little film about friendship and relationships. Light and cheerful. Thank you!

Live Screenings Attendee

Aww, that was so cute! It felt like watching a morning in a bug's life. I didn’t want it to end!

Giacomo Junior

Despite its brevity, the film delivers an efficient visual narrative. The character design is reminiscent of early French-Belgian animation with a touch of Ghibli’s domestic charm. Perfectly timed beats and cozy mise-en-scène.
