Description
A poetic story of coming-of-age, courage, and kindness
A fairy tale full of magic, secrets, and music, inviting audiences young and old into the world of Myrtia — a girl in search of the soul’s truth through a mystical forest, a silver mirror, and a precious legacy of love.
This tender narrative, inspired by folkloric motifs and enriched with lyrical language and dreamlike imagery, comes to life through animation and music. A modern fable about the power of the heart, loss, acceptance, and reconciliation.
The funding body of the project is the Ministry of Culture, within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan "Greece 2.0" with funding from the European Union - NextGeneration EU.
