Usually representing spirits, ancestors or the primordial couple, these figures were placed in shrines and treated with great respect. Through a wide range of style, scale, belief and function the couples depicted share a timeless, serene equality necessary to the continuity of their societies.

This short animation by Oscar®-winner Torill Kove (The Danish Poet) follows a seven-year-old girl and her sisters, who ask their parents to get them a bicycle. Our young protagonist struggles with her sense that her family is somehow unconventional, and her loving yet hopelessly out-of-touch parents prove to be a source of quiet embarrassment and anxiety.

With a bright palette, this film views the creative attitudes of the parents through the eyes of their introspective daughter. Me and My Moulton tells the charming story of a young girl whose sensitive nature sometimes makes it difficult for her to be honest with the ones she loves most.

Torrill Kove says "The film tells the story of me and my family when I was little and how weird I thought things were. It’s not a story of an unhappy childhood. It’s a story about looking back and making sense of things I thought were strange at the time. They still seem strange, but I try to put them in perspective.

A Moulton is a particular type of bike. It has tiny wheels and was the first bike you could take apart and travel with. It was the first designer bike. That was its claim to fame. And my parents got one for my sisters and me when we were kids. The film is drawn and colored in a similar way to my previous films. It’s also narrated in a similar style. It might actually work as the third film in a trilogy package."
