Who would have thought that Natalie’s most recognized film of the year (so far) would be an animated film?

Ugo Bienvenu’s debut feature, about a boy from the future trying to find his way home, took the Cristal for best feature film at the 2025 Annecy international film festival. The film, which premiered in Cannes and counts Natalie among its producers, follows Arco, a 10‑year‑old boy from the year 2932 who inadvertently travels back in time, via a rainbow, to 2075, where he encounters Iris, a young girl living through environmental collapse. Their burgeoning friendship becomes a tender yet urgent bond across time, rooted in innocence, curiosity and shared heartbreak.

Let’s hope this is the start of a long run of success for the film produced by Natalie’s company, MountainA.
