The Carp and the Child

La Carpe et l'Enfant Directed by: Arnaud Demuynck, Morgane Simon
BE/FR 2024 7' No dialogue

On a sunlit afternoon, a boy heads to the pond. He is hoping for some quiet time alone fishing for carp, but is joined by a puppy, ready to befriend anyone in his path. Even in the most peaceful moments, the pup can’t resist having a chat with the local frog and duck! When the puppy gets up to a bit of mischief, the boy is surprised by the outcome of his fishing adventure…

Belgian animation director Demuynck is known to RIGA IFF viewers for his stunning animation, Yuku and the Flower of the Himalayas (2022) and several other screen adventures. Morgane Simon is a César Award-nominated director, one of the most gifted rising European directors and screenwriters of his generation. Together, the two have created an adventure for all ages about how accepting failure can lead to new chapters and friendships in life.
