A dream takes flight (un sogno prende il volo)
(Italy, 2024, 5’33)
“A Dream Takes Flight” is a story about inclusion and resilience, focusing on workplace safety. On a hill above a sea of clouds lives Ugo, a small penguin with a big dream: to fly in the sky like the other postal birds. However, due to his wings being unsuitable for flight, this profession seems out of reach for him. But after several risky attempts to fly, Ugo understands the importance of persevering with caution and accepting his physical limitations. Thanks to his ingenuity and adaptability, he ultimately manages to take flight in his own way and, with the right safety measures, achieve the job of his dreams.
