Don't miss this heartwarming family adventure directed by Gilles de Maistre, based on a scenario by Plum de Maistre. The film tells the story of Tian, a 12-year-old boy sent to live with his grandmother in the mysterious mountains of Sichuan because of his poor grades. There, he has an incredible encounter: a small orphaned panda whom he names Moon, with whom he forms a secret friendship, forever changing his life and that of his family.

Through a poetic staging, Gilles de Maistre explores the themes of the connection between childhood and nature, the quest for self, and family transformation. Far from being a simple animal tale, Moon the panda is an emotional journey where the landscapes of Sichuan become havens of hope, and where every glance between Tian and Moon embodies a bridge between worlds, the past and the possible.
