Boulder is a 3D animated feature set in a divided world. The stone Trocks live on mount of a volcano, surrounded by the creatures of the Green World, whom they despise and fear. The Trocks' young prince, Boulder, prepares to inherit the throne when the power-hungry wizard Thoramat frames him for bringing a plant into the kingdom. Accused of contamination, Boulder is exiled among the very creatures he has been taught to see as enemies.
In the Green World, Boulder meets Feya, a spirited forest guardian, who reveals a reality entirely different from the legends of his people. He discovers that nature does not destroy the Trocks but can heal and strengthen them. As Thoramat drives the kingdoms towards war, Boulder must find a way to reveal the truth to his people and challenge everything he was raised to believe.
Combining fantasy, adventure, and humour, Boulder explores prejudice and inherited beliefs to underline the importance of humanity’s relationship with nature. At its heart, it is a story about growing beyond fear and discovering that true leadership means seeking justice and unity rather than protecting old beliefs.
The project was selected for the CEE Animation Forum and has received production support from the Bulgarian National Film Center.
