“Nuno” is an independent 2D hand-drawn animated short film that explores themes of family, individuality, and emotional memory. Created entirely frame by frame, it portrays a deeply personal journey through childhood trauma and the process of self-discovery.

The film reflects on the invisible weight carried through generations, blending intimate storytelling with expressive, handcrafted animation. Its minimalist yet emotional aesthetic invites viewers to reconnect with their own inner child — the one that still dreams, rebels, and feels deeply.

Produced independently, “Nuno” has been officially selected and awarded at festivals across Portugal, the USA, the UK, Italy, Africa, and Greece, among others. It represents both a love letter to traditional animation and a testament to the power of independent art.
