Arco

Summary

Can you imagine if rainbows were time travellers? Arco, a ten-year-old boy living in the distant future, takes his rainbow suit for a spin on his first flight. But a mistake diverts him from his path and he ends up landing in our near future. There he meets Iris, a girl his own age, who decides to help him return home.

A fantastic adventure about empathy, friendship and the ability to build bridges between different worlds. Winner of the Cristal Award for Best Feature Film at the latest edition of the Annecy Festival.
