Arco blends Studio Ghibli-inspired wonder with a distinctly French surreal imagination Arco shares an audio-visual heritage with Studio Ghibli films.

"Where most cli-fi cinema (science fiction that depicts climate change) often dwells on apocalyptic gloom, Arco’s take is both incisive and uplifting."
