Candy maker The Fini Company, headquartered in Spain,, has released this animated short, Fallin’ in Love, produced by Zombie Studio, São Paulo, Brazil, and New York. The film blends humor, charm, and emotional depth to address an increasingly urgent topic: the lack of human connection in a screen-dominated world.

To succeed in his mission, the little archer will need both creativity and a touch of boldness.
