Stop-motion under-water musical. The ocean is a paradise for Fran the shrimp. Her deadly claws take whatever they desire. For the blind fish Milva, it’s a daily fight to survive. Fran sees her as beautiful and wants her to see the ocean in the same way. Can they overcome their differences? There will be singing, involuntary organ donation and looking for love.

What happens when a mole gets bitten by a vampire? The Molepire! Curious mole Tonda spends his days inventing a device that would allow him to see the world from above. Digging his way back home, after spending yet another day testing his invention, he finds a wooden box with a toothy winged being Emilka in it.

"24" is an intimate psychological portrait of a woman split into five versions of herself — fragmented, searching, and overwhelmed by the contradictions of modern identity. Caught between desire and confusion, performance and authenticity, she navigates a world that demands clarity while she remains undefined. Through a hybrid of animation and live action, the film captures the raw turbulence of a mind in flux: sexual tension, social pressure, the weight of roles that never quite fit.

A story about a fisherman, who pulled a skeleton out of the frozen lake. He tries to escape from the skeleton, so he hides in the dark, where he looks for comfort in cheap entertainment. Yet the reality scratches on the window and the fisherman´s hiding place quickly becomes a place full of nightmares. Manipulation, humanity, puppetry - those are the main themes of this film.
