Made with papier-mâché puppets animated in stop motion and hand-crafted sculptures set in beautifully painted backgrounds, this delightful and delicate film introduces all audiences to a fragile ecosystem through the lives of ten animals: a pike, a beaver, a bat, a fire salamander, a turtle, an emperor dragonfly, and four unforgettable birds. Together they illuminate the wonders of nature, shouting, “Hello world!”
