I met two otters and they told me how they were doing.

Two otters, two different worlds and a joint escape from the zoo.

Lui was born in the wild and has never quite gotten used to life in a zoo. Ofélia, who grew up in human care, knows the world beyond its gates only from stories. When they decide to run away together, a journey to freedom begins, where their ideas about life outside the zoo collide with reality. Their story is told in a quirky radio show by keeper Florián.

An ecological puppet docu-production for young and old, with humor and perspective, opens up the themes of love, freedom, finding one's own place, and (non)adapting to others. How much of ourselves are we willing to change for someone we love?

Behind the production is a young creative collective – Ústa V. Albrechta,  which combines documentary sources with puppets, bizarreness and humor, creating theater for both children and adults.
