Lo Spauracchio Short Animation Film In a small mountain village in the heart of Italy's Abruzzo National Park, magical events unfold after a mysterious night. As nature shifts and wonder awakens, the villagers are faced with something, or someone, they do not understand. What follows is a poetic tale of fear, rejection, and the quiet strength of those who don't belong. Blending humor, magic and emotion, Lo Spauracchio is a timeless story about difference, empathy, and the courage to be seen.

The genre happens to be a cross-border love story. Sara Sher Ali from Pakistan and Vishaal Malhotra find themselves caught in an ugly social media encounter when their fathers die in an age-old battle between the borders. They develop a bond and navigate through their loss together. "Two warring nation made a choice but who really paid the price" - while asking this thought provoking question, the series preaches #heartoverhate.
