Don’t miss this heartfelt family adventure directed by Gilles de Maistre, written by Prune de Maistre. The film tells the story of Tian, a 12-year-old boy sent to his grandmother’s home in the mysterious Sichuan mountains after struggling at school. There, he makes an incredible discovery: an orphaned panda cub he names Moon. Together, they form a secret bond that will forever change his life and his family’s destiny.

Through poetic imagery and emotional storytelling, Gilles de Maistre explores the themes of a child’s connection with nature, self-discovery, and family transformation. More than just an animal tale, Moon the Panda is an emotional journey where the landscapes of Sichuan become havens of hope, and every gaze between Tian and Moon symbolizes a bridge between worlds, past and future.
