The rainbow is actually made up of people who travel through time! Arco belongs to a family of such time travellers, living in the distant future. One night, while his parents are asleep, the boy puts on a rainbow-coloured suit and accidentally travels back in time to the year 2075. There, he meets Iris, who tries to help him find his way home.

“Arco” tells a beautiful story of friendship between two teenagers, set against a futuristic vision of humanity grappling with climate catastrophe.

The film premiered at the Cannes Festival and later received the award for Best Feature Animation at the Annecy Festival.
