Have you ever made a plan and things did not go the way you intended. The young people in this shorts program are problem solvers with a little to learn along the way.
For Ages 8-10 | 77 minutes | Presented in English, nonverbal, and original languages with English subtitles

Content Advisory: Child must eat meat of sacrificed "pet"
Xiaohui and his cows
Except for mountain landscapes, magical rocks, and a few other kids, the village where Xiaohui lives with his grandfather and two cows has nothing to offer. The nine-year-old sorely misses his parents who work in the city. When grandpa has to sell a calf, the clever grandson tries everything to prevent the separation of mother and child. A soulful cry for love in times of capitalism.
