Magic Candies
2024
Oscar Shorts 2025 - Animation
A boy has no friends and plays marbles with himself. Mysterious sweets change his view of things and make him perceive the voices of objects, animals and other people.
The crazy story is well told and animated. It looks like stop motion, but is rendered in 3D. Imaginative and heart-warming, it changes our understanding of love and relationships.
