INTO THE FOREST
In a quiet stop-motion studio, a small monkey opens its eyes. Everything around it feels frozen. On a computer screen, a luminous jungle appears, distant, almost alive. With two companions, it begins to create one of their own, using whatever they can find. A forest shaped by imagination, their only way out.
