On an unusually warm and pleasant day by the sea, vacationers are lazing on wet towels. A boy can\u2019t 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\u2026<\/p>\n
From a coastal climate to the North Pole \u2013 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.<\/p>\n","images":[{"ID":41838,"id":41838,"title":"Tunnel-de-la-nuit_Strouven_V1","filename":"Tunnel-de-la-nuit_Strouven_V1.jpeg","filesize":853181,"url":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Tunnel-de-la-nuit_Strouven_V1.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Tunnel-de-la-nuit_Strouven_V1.jpeg","alt":"","author":"21","description":"","caption":"","name":"f5382b1a785f4923bcd0d7c63463d41d","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2025-08-12
