CHILDREN OF THE SEA

A high school girl on holidays meets two children of the sea raised by manatees. The three then embark on a big adventure that will connect humans, the undersea world and the greatest mysteries of the universe. This cinematic experience of astonishing scope hits up Stanley Kubrick, Terrence Malick and Hayao Miyazaki to create a one-of-a-kind work of art: a phantasmagoria touching on environmental and philosophical themes, aimed at kids as well as their more psychedelically inclined elders. Nothing less than one of the best animated films of the last decade.
The film will be screened in its original version with french subtitles on October 12th and with english subtitles on October 13th

With the support of the Japan Foundation Toronto
In collaboration with Le Jour de la Terre.

"This is one of the most beautifully animated films I’ve seen in years." "This is a film you experience on a deeper level, one that washes over you like a wave." Japan Times
"As the plot grows more mystical and challenging, the animation has the echo of a prolonged 2001: A Space Odyssey trip through the seas and stars" Screendaily
