Mice lead their own little lives. But sometimes, we all feel small, lonely and unappreciated. This time, it’s a mouse who is constantly picked on by the others. But the tiny creature has a mighty spirit. Ready for a grand adventure that might help leave those worries behind, the mouse sets out to climb the highest mountain and prove that being small does not mean being insignificant.

You are as big as you dare to dream – Italian director and animator Gennari’s short film urges viewers to reflect on the power of determination. The author works with the cut-out technique – the protagonist, the checkered blanket, friends and other characters are created from material cut-outs, silhouettes and other found objects. The film has been included in several prestigious film festivals, including the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, and it reminds us that we are at our bravest when we allow ourselves to be who we truly are.
