Interview / Film Breakdown: What Happens When Izidor Experiences FAMILY for the First Time?

The short film, IZIDOR gives viewers a glimpse into the life and psyche of an institutionalized child. The stakes are high because Izidor isn't just a fictional character, but a real boy trying to determine what it means to be human. He represents not just Romania's abandoned children, but all vulnerable children, everywhere.

The short film IZIDOR utilizes both animation and live action to give attention to the disparity between how institutionalized children experience life compared to children in families.

When Izidor spends a day with a family and experiences the love and connection they have, he discovers that belonging is what makes you feel alive. Izidor's need to belong will resonate with audiences worldwide, moving viewers to address the human rights issues still confronting orphans today.
