    • Synopsis
    • Will Tiny get the message? And the plant will convince her to continue picking up ants? What an umbrella has to do with it?! Tiny, the film's protagonist, is six years old and raises a carnivore plant, as a pet. Tiny has two other friends: Mr. Smith, the postman who brings news and good company, but is terrified of the carnivore plant and refuses to stay in the same room with it, and Inertia, the new neighbor, who likes to remain in the state she is. In the parallel universe of the ants, two of them stand out from the others reeling existential humorous dialogues. In the plot, Tiny is surprised by a series of extraordinary events, part of a secret plan the ants made to save theirselves from being used as food for the carnivore plant. Tiny’s search for the solution of this mystery reveals her the world from a new perspective.

      The great value that makes this project unique is its visual concept, that has at the same time an artist / orginal look and is very compelling. Also, the universe and atmosphere of the story brings the aesthetic of an art film with the ludicity and fun of a kids game.


      The project itself is very connected with the contemporary concepts in education, based in the co-autorial and co-creativity of the children/spectator.
