Conceived, drawn and animated live by a team of patients from a psychiatric clinic, this achievement presents, in the eyes of its author, less interest on a purely cinematographic level than on that of human experience.

Their characters will know a tragic fate since carried in the air by balloons, they will finally be devoured by a horrible dragon.
