Our latest animated film was included in the established Zlin Film Festival and Animafest Zagreb.
The 8-minute story addresses relationships and conflicts of a situation where the stronger has everything while the weaker starve.
A bulky mouse finds himself trapped within a cheese wheel while his itsy brother is left to fend for himself... starving... and having to deal with a monstrous cat. Meanwhile within the wheel turned mouse palace, driven loco by the cheese bonanza, the rodent living like a King mustn't forget that every bite he takes to his house leads him closer to a tumble.
