The film depicts the fictional childhood story of Mexico's renowned artist, Frida Kahlo, unfolding in Coyoacan, Mexico City, as young Frida confronts challenges with boundless imagination and curiosity.

Scheduled for delivery in May 2025 is Born in the Jungle, a 70-minute feature designed for upper preschool and family audiences. Produced by Atom Art (Latvia), Letko (Poland), Hausboot (Czech Republic), and directed by Edmunds Jansons, the film follows nine-year-old Elisabeth during a summer break in the Venezuelan rainforest. Tasked with looking after her four-year-old brother Leo, Elisabeth must navigate the dense jungle to bring him home before their parents return.

Also in development is Granny is a Tree! directed by Annecy Jury Prize Winner Hugo de Faucompret. Produced by Laïdak Films (France, Germany), Dandelooo (France), and Doghouse Films (Luxembourg), this 70-minute feature, targeting the 7+ age group, is set for delivery in December 2025. The film unfolds as Granny Onion, Jane's whimsical grandmother, embarks on her eternal after-lunch nap, leaving behind a final wish. Despite objections, Jane decides to embark on a wild escape to the edge of the tangible world with her granny's facetious ghost, embracing a heartwarming adventure.
