The second co-production between Passion and Stories for Swiss supermarket Migros. It features the return of the character Finn and shows his search for his long lost parents. Seamlessly blending live action with memorable CGI characters, animation directors Kyra & Constantin teamed up with live action directors Dorian Lebhertz and Daniel Titz to create Finn’s second story.

It’s not always what we achieve that defines us, rather it is why we achieve such things that creates clarity in our existence.<br />

A short film by Diego Berakha Otal<br />
Original Spanish version vimeo.com/685320983?share=copy<br />
<br />
"Now I Know Where to Find you" is a story about my childhood in Spain and the trip I made to Argentina when I was 12 years old. One day I decided that I wanted to live with my father. I missed him too much. 10,000 km later a whole new life began for me, but my childhood memories didn't fade away. And, of all these memories, the memory of my yaya (grandmother) was always vivid. She raised me as if I was her own son, when none of my parents were ready to do that.<br />
<br />
The story stems from a unique discovery that I made while wandering around with Google Maps. This discovery was so moving that I felt the need to tell the story, my story.<br />

Toast 2 is the triumphant follow-up to 2015’s tour de force on the culture of makernistas. Watch the original film here: https://vimeo.com/152218119<br />
<br />
For every giant leap forward, there are baby leaps backward. For every thumbs up, a middle finger. Middle fingers can stop you or you can use them as kindling. Kindling that starts a powerful fire. And the longer that fire endures, the smell of burning middle fingers gives way to something far sweeter – the smell of victory. This is the story of that smell. <br />
