Check out this charming animated short film.

It's about a boy named Gioannin, a 6 year old child living in Italy at the beginning of the 1900s. He dreams of his strong and wonderful father he never knew, who was lost at sea and never returned. He'll discover that a dream is not worth what real life can naturally give, despite its difficulties and disappointments.

It's in Italian with English subtitles.

Here's the studio's website: Arte.Five Animation Studio, and here's the topic on the AN Forum. Enjoy!
