Description

Heartwarming animation of a nocturnal moth who discovers sunlight after endless nights bathed only in the glow of the streetlamp. 

‘Lucas’ is a thing of beauty. It is a film about finding the light in darkness and about finding hope in the world around you, even when that doesn’t seem possible. 



 

 

Notes

The moth and the butterfly are age-old symbols that represent cultural and generational beliefs, and the striving towards spiritual enlightenment.
