The jury awarded this film for its inventive way of introducing scientific discovery through narrative adventure. By placing a young protagonist at the center of the story and blending animation with real scientific context, the film transforms complex research into an accessible and engaging journey. Science is presented as dynamic and exploratory, driven by curiosity, teamwork, and unexpected encounters. The transition from fictional storytelling to a real scientist reflecting on their work reinforces the connection between imagination and real-world research. Jurors highlighted the film’s strong reception among young audiences and its ability to spark interest beyond the screen. By combining excitement with credibility, the film invites viewers to see science not as distant or intimidating, but as something alive, relevant, and open to exploration.
