Bim
Bim is a family adventure movie with elements of magical realism. Bim, a 7-year-old winged bell, flies to Rome for the first time. Together with Bommel, Pi and the experienced Aurora, he is tasked with getting a magic elixir. This unique liquid brings an end to winter and allows spring to begin. The journey is a real challenge for Bim, who isn’t good at flying. Fortunately, he becomes best friends with Pi and Bommel and learns that he has other talents.
