Synopsis

Ernest & Celestine

Celestine is a little mouse trying to avoid a dental career while Ernest is a big bear craving an artistic outlet. When Celestine meets Ernest, they overcome their natural enmity by forging a life of crime together.

Niccolò

A gifted musician's pursuit of fame traps him in the audience's demands—until a broken violin forces him to choose between hollow applause and true artistic freedom. A metaphorical tale of ambition and its consequences, Niccolo follows Niccolo, a talented musician consumed by a relentless desire for fame. As he climbs the ladder of success, he becomes a prisoner of the audience’s adoration, sacrificing his well-being for their applause.
