Éiru

Young Éiru dreams of becoming the greatest warrior in the Fire Clan. When the water in the well runs dry, she is the only one who can descend into the depths of Earth to discover what caused it. Will she dare to change the fate of a divided world?

In an ancient land, there lived three warring Clans – Fire, Earth, and Water. It would seem that their hatred is too strong for the wars ever to end. The mighty warriors of the Fire Clan show young Éiru no mercy, constantly taunting and mocking her. None of them believe in her dreams, even though she is waiting for an opportunity to prove herself.

When the long-awaited opportunity finally arrives, Éiru discovers powers lying dormant within the Earth that will force her to see the divided Clans in a new light. Éiru is a story about the courage of young people with the strength to change the world, and about overcoming divisions and the search for hope for a better tomorrow.

Presented alongside the film The Breadwinner.

... the creators of "Éiru" experimented with a range of artistic techniques – from watercolour to charcoal and pencil? Thanks to this, the animation has acquired a unique, painterly quality and a fairy-tale atmosphere.
