A Forest Fairy Tale
2017 Adults 6 min
by Franko Dujmić
How happy would you be to live the end of the world? And also to be celebrating your birthday that very day, or paying a visit to your mother, or maybe going on a date with your crush? This is what A Forest Fairy Tale actually is – a tale of luck. The luck of a few animals depicted through short sketches portraying the last day of the world. And, naturally, a blazing asteroid rushing toward the Earth is the best reason for deep contemplations and self-analyses of one’s own life. If all this sounds depressing, fear not! After all, no one cries in this film (except maybe the author).
