This film is enchanting, at times even mesmerizing. I was absorbed by animation style--simple but vibrant with unexpected techniques at every turn. The story is beautiful, too: we watch a little boy (Cuca) take an adventure in search of his father but soon discover that isn't really what's happening at all. It is always about the journey in Coming of Age stories, never the destination, and this story is the perfect example. I felt like I was taking a ride through a kaleidoscope and across the imagination of a mind taking everything in for the first time.
