Stone of Destiny has dreams too. Just like a horse running freely along the beach. In this animated musical, it decides to set off on a journey for its own freedom - luckily helped along by a pair of human limbs. And it can sing! Which definitely comes in handy on such a long trip. Maybe it will even find its purpose along the way. But what if it fails? After all, it’s just a stone… Julie Černá based her film on her own comics trilogy of the same name, which won the Muriel Award for Best Student Comics. She sees the Stone of Destiny as her alter ego. The film was created at The Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague and premiered at Berlinale.
