TURTLE & ALBION

Summer vacation: for most children, this means ice cream, sunburn, and swimming pools. But not for the brothers Albion (13) and Mensur (8): while their mother goes to work, Albion has to take care of his strong-willed little brother who suffers from a mysterious illness. In the lonely twilight of their home, the children create their own wondrous world of video games, comics, and overflowing imagination. Together, they try to ignore the fact that Mensur‘s pain is getting worse.

Until Mensur confides a secret to his older brother. He is not sick at all — in fact, he is turning into a turtle.

A 20-minute drama about two young brothers using their childlike imagination to fight against a hopeless reality.
