The Chronicles of the Kaleidoscope Visitors

by Omer Abbas Salem
directed by Katrina Dion

Sister Fibonacci and her family live on a secluded winter island, growing food for the town on the mainland. When the island is visited by two green creatures with the ability to make sunflowers grow in the snow, their lives take an unexpected turn. Can Fibonacci save her new friends from being exploited for their powers? The Chronicles of the Kaleidoscope Visitors encourages keeping curiosity alive and standing up for what is right.​
