Categories: Feature Film, Short Film

Tall trees sway to an ancient legend woven into the words and actions of the local people. Through the summer, rural atmosphere of the past century and a children's adventure, a curious young girl named Miška will find herself on a giant journey toward an encounter with a forgotten forest creature. The short film for children "Legenda o Polnočnjaku" is based on folklore from the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County about a benevolent local giant (a good spirit) who takes away children who do not return home on time.
