Ruzz and Ben 2005

Directed by Philippe Jullien

Searching for their lost kite among the grey buildings of the inner city, two street urchins stumble onto a hidden world where the four elements of nature coexist in perfect balance. They are terrified by a curious creature that is half vegetable, half animal, but soon realize that this mysterious character is not only good-hearted but also understands the mysteries of the wind. Over the course of this initiatory journey, the little street urchins gain an understanding of nature, and learn to master their fears. A dazzling work of puppet animation, full of delightful twists and brimming with humanity.
