Synopsis

An adorable coming-of-age story among bats

Sensitive music-lover Benjamin is mocked by his bat family for being afraid of the dark. When, on top of it all, he falls in love with Sherida – a bird, the bats’ worst enemy, he is completely left out. Will love help him set his ground?

Mocked by his family for being different, Benjamin must learn to assert himself to find his place, while at the same time conveying an essential message of acceptance of others
