Our take

Following a little boy’s quest to find his father, Alê Abreu’s Oscar®-nominated gem sweeps us to a prismatic universe populated by colorful creatures and mechanical inventions. Encroached by the peril of industrialization, this animated wonderland draws an unexpected parallel to contemporary Brazil.
