FILKOOL

The story is about a big, different creature named FILKOOL who doesn’t fit in his house. Everyone tries to change him, until a child with Down syndrome enters and shows in a simple and unique way that he doesn’t need to change. The animation depicts the characters’ movements with the real calmness and slowness of children with Down syndrome. The work is based on the drawings of my brother MAZDAK, who has Down syndrome, and we have been creating different worlds together for years. All the voice actors in this animation are people with Down syndrome.
