AURORA
Synopsis
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who fell in love with a beautiful horse named Aurora…
Expressively animated in a naive drawing-style that evokes children’s drawings and the texture of storybook illustrations, Aurora is a bittersweet story about love, friendship, and growing up.
