Melting Heart Cake / Cœurfondant
France / Color / 12' / 2019
To share her chocolate «cœur fondant» with her friend, Anna must cross a glacial forest. Said forest is haunted by a new resident, a terrifying bearded giant. All animals that cross his path disappear and, of course, the mole’s route leads to him. But the giant has a warmer heart than it may seem.
