Butterfly & Mouse

Animation, Drama, Adventure

SYNOPSIS

People often say, “This one has a lion’s heart, and that one – a rabbit’s”.
Some hide lions in their chests, other ones – rabbits, yet others – mice. There are also those who wouldn’t dare face their inner spirit animal. What could happen to someone so very afraid of seeing what he carries within.
A short jazzy film about the fears that obstruct man’s way to himself and to others.
