Description

Alphonse, a little squirrel, is endlessly captivated by the clouds, often losing himself in their beauty and even snapping pictures of them. Despite the playful scepticism of his parents and friends, Alphonse’s curiosity is unwavering as he pursues his passion with the same boldness as great explorers. Through vibrant animation, Head in the Clouds captures the importance of appreciating the world around us and celebrates the unique perspectives that make us who we are. This enchanting short invites audiences to pause, look up, and marvel at life’s quiet wonders.
