On an unusually warm and pleasant day by the sea, vacationers are lazing on wet towels. A boy can’t find a beach tennis partner, and even his puppy fails to cheer him up. So he decides to dig a tunnel in the sand to another continent, never imagining it could actually be possible. As it turns out, he’s not the only one with such a plan…
From a coastal climate to the North Pole – this unbelievable journey with a unique colour palette of fruity oranges and watermelon-rind greens is brought to us by Belgian director Strouven. Each of us has, as a child, wondered what it would be like to dig straight through the Earth to Japan, but in this two-dimensional animation, fantasy turns into a world-spanning adventure that happily leads its heroes back home.
