Synopsis:

Some say that, somewhere among mountains forgotten by time, lives an old Hermit gifted with mysterious powers.
Known for his solitude and bad temper, one day he loses his patience when heavy rain turns into a storm.
Enraged, he sets off a chain of events that causes the rain to stop altogether, changing everyone's lives!

“The Old Hermit” is an adaptation of the tale “The Unicorn Hermit and the Rain Dragons” by Estefânia Surreira,
blending fantasy with environmental lessons, encouraging children to reflect on the preservation of nature and the value of water.
An emotional story about responsibility, regret, and the pursuit of a more sustainable world.
