Yuku And The Himalayan Flower

Arnaud Demuynck, Rémi Durin

Belgium / France / Switzerland

2022, 62'

Yuku heard stories about the Himalayan flower and now that she realizes her grandmother is going to leave, she decided to try and find the flower with eternal light. That way, her grandmother will always have a guiding light (better than the blind mole she’s going with). Until she finds it, she will have a long journey — through the meadow, through the forest, and even through the sewer — but will find many friends along the way.
