Lemon & Elderflower
Ilenia Cotardo/02：41/UK/Animation/2017
A slapstick animation made to entertain young audiences by showing the gags of two little sibling hummingbirds, Lemon and Elderflower. The protagonists, whose wings are too little to be able to fly, can't migrate with the other birds. During the story, the siblings build different inventions, in order to find the right way to take flight.
