Eleven-year-old Tony has a unique feature he was born with – he glows. He spends his days at home in his blanket bunker and dreams about having a friend. Before Christmas, a peculiar girl named Shelly moves into his house and turns his world upside down. Together, they embark on an adventurous search for the origin of the mysterious tufts of darkness which suck the sunshine out of their house.
Why we like it: This award-winning Czech animated fairytale with an aesthetic reminiscent of Tim Burton is more than one thing at once: an unusual Christmas story, an ode to diversity, and a stunning stop-motion masterpiece that deserves to be seen on the big screen.
