A young boy, traumatized by his abusive father, finds his courage by freeing a mysterious creature from the chains that binds her.

Derived and inspired by Slavic folklore, The Last Alkonost sets the stage for the protagonist to break a harmful cycle and shows how courage can make a real difference.

This short film is a collaborative project crafted by The One Academy Digital Animation batch DG2205 and Illustration batch IL2201.
