What if
the light of the Sun was disappearing
GranPa and his young accomplice Zoe lead a peaceful life in their ranch, up until the day when their tranquil existence is disturbed by a strange event: the light of the Sun grows dimmer, as if it is disappearing. No time to waste, our two heroes rush off on a race against time to save the sunlight.

Let’s meet the characters
GranPa
As a retired scientist, GranPa spends his time fishing, guzzling eucalyptus sticks, and discussing the mysteries of the universe for hours on end. Yes, he is passionately interested in astronomy – so what could be better for talking about light?
Zoe
This little 10 year old dingo regularly comes visiting GranPa's ranch. If the two of them hang out so much together, it’s because they both share the same love of science.
BogBog
This is Bogbog. He’s a teenage alien who hasn’t found anything better to do than attack our planet. He’s a long-time enemy of GranPa, and we can imagine them fighting, their historic struggles, their endless thirst for vengeance, a long list of upset plans.

Science for all
Waves, colors, heat, velocity. Light covers many scientific basic knowledges. As a scientific approval we have worked with Stéphanie Escoffier, Director of Research with the CNRS at the Marseilles Centre of Particule Physics, and member of the SDSS project.

Since that date six other films have been made, including Polaris and Lucia, both international successes.With GranPa & Zoe, the studio has signed a creation for which it is both director and co-producer.
Mediastro Promotion (co-producer)
Médiastro Promotion is an association which uses shows to help a broad audience discover scientific knowledge in astronomy. With Polaris and Lucia, and now GranPa & Zoe, Médiastro Promotion aims to provide planetariums with high quality full dome shows, where science is backed up by action – for the greater pleasure of audiences of every age.
