Boulder is a 3D animated feature set in a world divided by a vast wall. On one side live the Trocks, a civilisation of stone beings raised to fear the plants and animals of the Green World. Their young prince, Boulder, is preparing to inherit the throne when the power-hungry wizard Toramat 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 — and that the hostility between the two worlds has been sustained by fear, manipulation and forgotten truths.
As Toramat drives the kingdoms towards war, Boulder must find the courage to confront his own people and challenge everything he was raised to believe. Combining fantasy, adventure and humour, Boulder explores prejudice, inherited beliefs and 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 divisions.
The project was selected for the CEE Animation Forum and has received production support from the Bulgarian National Film Center.
