Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe!

In the clouds high above lies a mythical playground, where the children of Greek gods and monsters come to play. Amongst them is little Yios with a shining sun on his head. Yios is determined to find friends, but cannot control his explosive energy and shine. The annoyed children devise a prank, leading to Yios’s fall to Earth. But in that strange place, he meets someone unexpected – a curious blind boy. Thanks to him Yios discovers how to calm down and finally unlocks the true beauty of his shine.

Director’s statement
Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe! is my first film specifically aimed at children. After the solemn creation of my previous film, I wanted to bring more humor and a world not barren, but full of life. Perhaps the nostalgic aspect of the main character, a personification of a past self, led me to connect it with old myths. A mythical world was born, inhabited by strange children. Ironically, in a group of little monsters, our main character is still not accepted, because his uniqueness is deemed annoying, refused to be accommodated.
We hope the film will entertain both children and adults, all the while it´s central theme is loneliness and isolation, the pain of not being accepted amongst others. I believe it is something that many of us lived through and few of us get over. To us, who lived such a childhood, the nostalgia of memories is interlaced by an ever-present hole in our chest. And I feel like I owe it to that child who I was, and all the children that are here now, to make this film.
