THE GIRL WITH THE
OCCUPIED EYES
Animation by André Carrilho I 8min I Portugal
A girl wanders through the city, countryside, beach, always clutching a phone from which she never takes her eyes off. Along the way, she comes across a group of characters that include a bear, dolphins, pirates, an alien. Everyone tries to captivate her and draw her attention, but she is indifferent to everything around her. After a series of adventures that include a brief space trip, the girl lands in a circus and climbs up a roller coaster. What no one expected was that, during the dizzying journey, the phone would slip out of her hands, only to fall apart on the ground

The bear and her friend, the bird, are still romping about the hills near the forest, but it is getting time for her to retire for hibernation. When the moment has come, she longingly thinks of the bird which has by now flown far south. She decides to travel the world to follow it. A film adventure for all ages.
