In a visually surreal zoo, Salty — an odd little duck with a rainbow tuft — narrates his own coming-of-age tale. From a young age, he feels out of place, until a flamboyant pair of outcast birds arrive with a shy gosling and settle in the punk side of the garden. A tender friendship and first love blossom between the two outcasts, despite bullying, prejudice, and parental doubts. But when gentrification threatens to erase their world, the animals must unite to defend their home and their chosen family. Blending pop culture, humor, and emotion, Salty is a vibrant animated story about identity, love without labels, and the beauty of belonging.

Not all ducks fit the mold — and that’s the beauty of it.

Once upon a…hair, there was IS. With the narrative structure of a fairy tale, the story of her life, from the moments she sprouts on a baby’s head till the moment she “dies” falling off from there, while she has to fight against beastie scissors and dictatorial combs, is a metaphor about the circle of life, about the fulfillment of our dreams and about the need to preserve diversity without becoming extinct. But, anyhow, life goes on…

IS, or: A Beautiful, Tiny, Reddish Hair, as Thin as Fiber

On the top of a human head, a common, humble little hair has only a lifetime to struggle against scissors and combs claiming her diversity.
