A 3D ANIMATION BY MARIO CAMBI THE STORY OF LEO is about difference, whether between herds or between individuals. A solitary vegetarian lion and a sorrowful mother elephant meet, help each other, are lost and separated, and finally fall in love. Diversity of races, inner loneliness, social rejection, thirst for power... and famished cubs to feed, could sound like quite distant themes for children. That is, at least superficially. However, this story is in fact the tale of a journey, a search for a legendary place (the Milk Lake), and a dream of love that shatters all preconceived ideas. It expresses the importance of belonging to a united and open community, and the ability to accept ourselves as we are.

CUBAN MEMORIES MEMORIAS CUBANAS Berlinale Special Berlinale Camera DOCUMENTS MORE THAN DOCUMENTARIES ROME FILM FEST OFFICIAL SCREENINGS: I have always tried to approach and report on people and situations that are complex. Those which, because of prejudices, had not been honestly presented to the public. And this, in fact, led me to some internationally sensational scoops. On occasion, I thus penetrated into the depths of men and events. And my works have therefore been considered more as documents, perhaps, than documentaries.
