Maryam & Varto

Teaser

Images from the pilot

Anatolia, 1915. Maryam and her brother Varto, two armenian kids, are caught in WW1 upheaval. A turkish young adolescent is given the harsh mission to save them. Together, they will experience a risky but enchanted odyssey.
Nowadays, this adventure has unexpected consequences, whilst a young woman and her son are traveling from Istanbul to France to meet a grumpy old man who doesn’t want to see them. History secrets sometimes hide family secrets, and ghosts are waiting to be reunited.


This project was selected for the Cartoon Movie 2021 pitches.
