Cotton Blu – Orsetto dal codino blu
by Sala Alessandra, Sala Alessandra, Sala AlessandraCotton Blue, a Polar baby bear, lives in the Arctic Ocean lands. Cotton, for a joke of genetics, has a blue tail like its eyes. In a world of white polar bears, this small difference makes him ‘different’ and not so accepted by the rest of the community. Precisely for this reason, one morning he decides to escape. On his escape he meets Ainik, an Inuit girl, who also ran away from home, but for quite other reasons. Her parents are at risk of separation and Ainik, with her escape, hopes to make them reflect on the importance of the “family” concept. And while cold and hunger put their survival at risk, the mysterious Buragan appears, an old toothless ecologist with a breath that smells of broccoli. Buragan lives in a den camouflaged in the ice on which solar panels are placed… He practices regularly yoga and knows very well the world from which the two puppies have escaped. And it will be Buragan himself who will make the two little ones understand how important the value of diversity is in an approved and dreamless world, not as a handicap, but as a resource to draw on to harmonize relationships with other living beings.
