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.
