Experiencing Interruptions?

Where The Stars Rest

Where the Stars Rest is a tender, dialogue-free animated short that explores grief through the eyes of a child. When a young boy loses his older brother, he embarks on an imaginative journey filled with rockets, stars, and memory. As reality and fantasy intertwine, the film gently navigates the weight of loss and the quiet strength it takes to move forward. With a minimalist visual style and symbolic storytelling, Where the Stars Rest is a heartfelt tribute to love, loss, and the places we keep those we’ve lost.
