As they chase their dreams, they face the harsh truths of life: The tough journey of Brave and his friends in a parallel universe!
Brave and his closest friends, Four Eyes and Freckle, burn through a small fortune online after a few careless taps, and things at home blow up fast. When Mr. Stingy, Brave’s extremely frugal father, finds out, he completely loses it. Trying to fix what they have done, Brave brings him an old watch as a present, a strange second-hand piece rumored to have something unusual about it. At first it just sits on the table and ticks like any other watch. Then, without warning, it springs to life and pulls the three kids out of their normal routine and into a world that feels familiar, but slightly wrong from the start. Once they arrive, none of the rules they know seem to apply. They end up under the control of Ruhi, a strict and demanding boss who makes them work for every cent they earn. In this odd place where effort is the only thing that really counts, Brave, Four Eyes and Freckle have to stay one step ahead of Ruhi, figure out what the watch has dragged them into, and find a way back home. To escape, they have to learn that thinking clearly, sticking with the hard parts and working together can matter more than quick and easy money.
Hello, I am Serhan Yorganci, the director of Square Heads.
This film carries a story that I believe speaks to both children and adults in different ways. It brings some lightness and a smile, but it also touches on the small heartbreaks and quiet moments we never really forget as we grow up.
While making Square Heads, I wanted to let the playful side of animation collide with the tougher parts of real life. The result became something that feels warm and strange at the same time, a world that looks simple at first but hides more emotion the longer you stay in it.
Thank you for taking the time to watch it.
