Synopsis
In a barren world TamLin of the Little People travels with his herd of splendid smortlybacks in search of greener pastures. They struggle with fear and find themselves stranded on the shore of the ocean. With unlikely help of TamSin a wonderful mermaid and her disrespectful smortlysharks they cross the ocean and find a happy end.
Ted Sieger (1958) grew up in Chile, Peru, Australia and Switzerland. Before he started making films he travelled extensively and worked in all kinds of strange jobs, the best were counting eggs in an egg factory and sailing with a merchant ship to Africa. He creates, designs, writes, directs and produces animation (shorts, TV Series and soon a feature). He lives in Switzerland and has just bought new skis.
