Tony, Shelly und das Magische Licht

Eleven-year-old Tony is different because he glows. Understandably, his parents are worried, so they make him wear masks and tell him never to leave their apartment. Tony spends most of his time in his blanket bunker, dreaming of having a friend. When he meets a quirky, bespectacled girl named Shelly, she turns his world upside down. Together they embark on an adventurous search for the source of the mysterious clouds of darkness that suck the light out of their building.

Filled with imaginative detail that will appeal to children and adults alike, this is a beautiful, heartfelt, stop-motion animated film about being different, friendship and first love, but most of all, about light and darkness.

The film received the Contrechamp Jury Award at the Annecy IAFF 2023 and the Czech Lion for Best Animated Film.
