Icarus
The boy who flew too close to the sun
Directed by Carlo Vogele
Produced by Iris Productions, Iris Films
A mythologically grounded animated adventure about friendship and sacrifice, where a dreamy boy must protect a misunderstood creature from a tyrannical king.
On the island of Crete, a day-dreamy boy named Icarus befriends a mysterious creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull named Asterion (aka the Minotaur). When the King asks Icarus’ father, a famous inventor, to work on a secret project, Icarus realizes his new friend is in danger.
