Sirocco and the Kingdom of the Winds (U*)

Family Film Club

,Cinema 2
Two magical cats fly through a landscape together.

When Juliette and Carmen are sent to stay with their neighbour, they are unexpectedly plunged into a world of mystery and magic in this stunning new animation from director Benoît Chieux.

Agnes, a children’s fantasy author, has written stories of a faraway land featuring a mysterious wizard named Sirocco. But somehow this fictional world has come to life and when Agnes is asleep, Juliette and Carmen – two young girls she is babysitting - are sucked into the pages of these strange tales, complete with cat transformations, alligator air ships, toad-like mayors and bird headed opera divas.

Like a cross between Alice in Wonderland and The Yellow Submarine – with a hunk of Ghibli thrown in for good measure –  this surreal and mesmerising adventure, revels in the journey through this intricately animated realm.
