This short animation program invites children to explore self-awareness, empathy, and the value of mutual support. Through expressive, moving, and metaphorical stories, the characters confront fears, learn to accept themselves, and open up to others. These films don’t offer ready-made answers but instead create space for reflection — free from pressure, with trust in one’s own perception. The program is designed for children who are beginning to think more deeply about themselves and the world around them, who seek sincere, meaningful stories and are ready to see beyond the surface.
