Darkness haunts the young girl, Raja. Overwhelmed by the weight of her shadows, she collapses. A light appears and her journey begins. In search for the end, Raja stumbles through a wondrous in-between world. There, she finds something she thought she had lost forever.

 

Franziska von Holst and Louisa Würden are filmmakers specializing in stop motion animation. Having grown up in the Rhine-Main area, their paths crossed during their studies at the Mainz University of Applied Sciences. Since then they have been working as a duo and collaborating on projects. They have spent the last six years creating Raja, their debut film in puppet animation style.
