DIRECTOR & PRODUCER: Edwin Ivemark Kihlström
This is a story about a boy who takes the help of a magical spirit to aid his sick little brother. The brothers live together in a cabin built on planks and branches high up on a hill over the water. When the boy opens the window to cool down his feverish brother, one of their pigeons escapes, falls down the cliffside, and dies on the beach. Once down on the shore, the boy is met by a magical spirit who can grant a wish in return for being fed more pigeons.

Director's portrait
Director's bio:
Edwin Ivemark Kihlström is 24 years old and is in his first year of studying Graphic Design and Illustration at Konstfack. This film is his graduation project from the Animation Academy, class of 2025.
Edwin is motivated by building his own worlds through his projects. Heart, fantasy, and emotion are key elements, and his stories always originate from within.
“I feel that the only way for me to create is to make something that feels authentic, where I leave a part of myself in the work. Because of this, characters and events are frequently based on my own life.”
