In the jungle, between the trees and the darkness of the night, something dazzling appears, illuminating the faces of its denizens. Will we be able to reach it? The forest’s inhabitants give up, deciding that instead of trying to catch the moon the best thing to do is simply to lose themselves in its enigmatic glow.

Using a delicate style of animation that plays with the idea of Chinese shadow puppetry, this film shows the moon as ultimately unattainable, something which renders it all the more fascinating.
