A film by Gordon & Andy Sommer

Running Time: 26'

/ Format: HD

Every night, a father tells his son a bedtime story to help him fall asleep. Like a challenge, the child always choses the same book, a serious book with score sheets, photos of the Orchestra and drawings of animals - the book is "The Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint-Saens.

This book which seems a little austere, is transformed by the complicity of the father and his son, it becomes animated, it plays music : The Carnival of the Animals comes to life.

A story for the whole familly in live caption and animation.
