Little Eve

Eve is small—but her problems feel enormous.

When the wolves won’t stop picking on her, she runs away. But her mother gently shows her how even the smallest can be strong—through three unforgettable stories.

Little Eve is a poetic fulldome film that follows Eve as she hears about brave creatures that shaped life on Earth: a tiny cell, a walking fish, and a squirrel that outsmarted extinction.
