Little Big Stories
A playful and imaginative selection of Czech and Slovak animated shorts that takes us from starry skies and mysterious forests to disastrous family holidays and mythical worlds. With humour, wonder and a touch of melancholy, these films explore courage, loss, friendship and otherness – proving that even the smallest stories can open up big questions.
