The Spauracchio

“A heart of straw, a soul of gold.”

Lo Spauracchio Short Animation Film In a small mountain village in the heart of Italy's Abruzzo National Park, magical events unfold after a mysterious night. As nature shifts and wonder awakens, the villagers are faced with something, or someone, they do not understand. What follows is a poetic tale of fear, rejection, and the quiet strength of those who don't belong. Blending humor, magic and emotion, Lo Spauracchio is a timeless story about difference, empathy, and the courage to be seen.
