Animated completely independently in the medium of paper stop-motion, an overwhelmed Dana takes to the road, leaving her past in the rearview mirror. Seeking solace, she visits a hiking trail from her youth. A few wrong turns and a nasty fall later, she awakens alone in a strange forest, save for one new companion: a talking cat. Dana explores the forest seeking a way out, back to the life she was running from. A delightful adventure for audiences young and young at heart.

Yuni is a teenage girl—smart, with big dreams of attending university. When two men she barely knows ask to marry her, she rejects their proposals, sparking gossip about a myth that a woman who rejects three proposals will never marry. The pressure is building when a third man asks for her hand, and Yuni must choose between a final chance at marriage, or her dream of future happiness. —Saidah Russell Sponsored by Charles and Joy Intriago
