A thrilling encounter between a young girl and one of the elements, reminding us nature can’t be contained, from creators Grégoire Laforce and Yvan Duque.
Every morning, Lucie heads to the forest to go exploring. Along the way, she collects things from nature that fascinate her, placing them carefully into little jars that she stuffs into an increasingly full backpack. But on one particular day, Lucie encounters something unexpected: She hears the wind speaking to her. Thinking she can simply coax the wind into one of her jars, much like her other souvenirs from the forest, she instead finds herself being led on an unforgettable adventure by a force of nature. When she arrives at a moment of truth, however, and reckons with having to let go of her backpack full of jars, an important realization about the environment begins to set in.
