বাংলা

জাদুর কৌশল দেখাতে গিয়ে ৫ বছর বয়সী এক শিশু তার কাল্পনিক বন্ধুর দেখা পেয়ে যায়। একসাথে তারা বাস্তবতা থেকেও আরও অনেক দূরে ভ্রমণ করে। এই চলচ্চিত্রটি সব বয়সী মানুষের জন্য উপযুক্ত। এই চলচ্চিত্রটি দর্শককে অনুভব করাবে সেই সুন্দর অনুভূতি যা আমরা নতুন মানুষকে জানার মাধ্যমে অনুভব করে থাকি। এটি একটি বাস্তবচিত্র এবং দ্বিমাত্রিক অ্যানিমেশনের সংমিশ্রণ। এই চলচ্চিত্রে ফুটে উঠেছে ছোটবেলার মনোমুগ্ধতা এবং রঙিন ভাবাবেশ।
