Babu in the Night City

Babu is a little girl with a vivid imagination. She embarks on a search for a stolen parrot, which turns out to be a much bigger journey. Little does she know that the parrot is her father, who has been transformed into an animal by his own invention called the Faunomat. Along the way, she finds three helpers: a shy rapper, a cunning jogger, and a homeless man who can make incredible things out of garbage. Each of them feels like a loser in their way, but Babu sees them as knights. Eventually, they discover the chivalry in themselves.

Director’s statement
I see in 'Babu In the Night City' the possibility of creating a modern fairy tale which takes place in a contemporary setting, but at the same time, doesn't reject the magic which forms the basis of fairy
tales. There is an opportunity here to tell a humorous story thanks to interesting characters and an element of play enabled by the puppetry. At the same time, it carries a deeper message which
is relevant to today and is not purely a shallow form of moralizing. I believe that 'Babu In the Night City' offers, thanks to its treatment and a universal message, the potential to link the child audience with that of the adult one.
