Filmmaker's Note
George Eliot said that “It is never too late to be who you might have been” and that is exactly what this short film shows: the protagonist abandons the possibility of pursuing his dream due to an event that turns his life upside down at a young age, but sometimes fate is stronger than adversity and can appear when you least expect it. The life-long dream is aimed at adults and children, with the aim of encouraging even the most disillusioned viewer not to give up and continue to pursue their ambitions, because if you have talent in a field and if the desire is so strong, it could happen that it comes to us despite the surrender in trying to reach it. The short film was entirely made with Adobe Character Animator.
