"5 Sure Signs Your Parents Were Architects." In this very short animated videoclip, Torill Kove revisits the lovable characters from her latest film, "Me and My Moulton," to paint a portrait of an unconventional childhood. Through her signature colourful and quirky aesthetic, Kove creates an endearingly funny meditation on family, creativity, art, and idiosyncrasy.

"Me and My Moulton." This short animation by Oscar®-winner Torill Kove (The Danish Poet) follows a seven-year-old girl and her sisters, who ask their parents to get them a bicycle. Our young protagonist struggles with her sense that her family is somehow unconventional. With a bright palette, this film views the creative attitudes of the parents through the eyes of their introspective daughter. Me and My Moulton tells the charming story of a young girl whose sensitive nature sometimes makes it difficult for her to be honest with the ones she loves most.
