The film will be showcased at the ‘Family Shorts,’ one of the festival’s screening categories.
The six-minute animation is about a young wind that comes into possession of a bike, which helps the wind blow even faster without expending much energy and to truly enjoy its time. The freedom and strength that the bike gives the wind allow it to embark on new adventures.
