Estonian premiere
Bim
Bim is a family adventure movie with elements of magical realism. Bim, a 7-year-old winged bell, flies to Rome for the first time. Together with Bommel, Pi and the experienced Aurora, he is tasked with getting a magic elixir. This unique liquid brings an end to winter and allows spring to begin. The journey is a real challenge for Bim, who isn’t good at flying. Fortunately, he becomes best friends with Pi and Bommel and learns that he has other talents. It turns out Aurora has other plans for the Elixir. Will the three young bells be able to keep the magical substance out of her hands?
