PIXAR has released the synopsis and a still from the upcoming short film La Luna, which will premiere at the Annecy International Animation Festival the first weekend in June.

La Luna is the timeless fable of a young boy who is coming of age in the most peculiar of circumstances. Tonight is the very first time his Papa and Grandpa are taking him to work. In an old wooden boat they row far out to sea, and with no land in sight, they stop and wait.  A big surprise awaits the little boy as he discovers his family’s most unusual line of work. Should he follow the example of his Papa, or his Grandpa? Will he be able to find his own way in the midst of their conflicting opinions and timeworn traditions?

Long-time PIXAR staffer Enrico Casarosa is serving as both director and Head of Story, and previously worked on Cars, Ratatouille and Up.
