Poster

Raff is a young rabbit who loves walking in the forest, but he’s afraid of the dark.

Every day he collects fireflies before hurrying back to his burrow before nightfall.

He falls asleep peacefully, reassured by his nightlights.

One night, a bat bursts in and steals his fireflies before fleeing.

Raff tries to pursue her but the night closes in on him and he finds himself lost in the dark.

Everything around him frightens him, pushing him into a mad rush, fleeing blindly.

Just when he had given up hope, he finds a firefly and tries to catch it.

A gigantic hand picks it up when Raff’s back is turned, leaving him alone and desperate.

A swarm of fireflies appears, following the movement of the hand.

Raff retrieves one but comes face to face with the creature that attracts the fireflies.

She places the fireflies in the sky, turning them into stars. She notices the firefly held by the rabbit and reaches down to retrieve it.

Raff hesitates, frightened, but moves towards the hand and gently releases his firefly.

The creature raises the firefly into the sky, placing the last star.

Raff gazes up at the starry sky in wonder.
