Samson, a dragon bullied by the other inhabitants of Dragonville, is forced to enter Humanville. There he meets Simon, a little boy who helps him to face all the difficulties. Samson discovers a new world and, above all, a taste of friendship.

 

Marika Herz began her career with a strong academic background in Cultural Studies, driven by a passion for World Literature, the Tanakh, Mythology, History of Arts, and Theory of Culture. This foundation paved the way for her creative journey, starting as a children’s writer and later discovering a love for stop-motion animation. Inspired by the traditional papercut technique, she creates a snug and tactile paper universe in her first animated film Once Upon a Time in Dragonville.
