What if

the light of the Sun was disappearing

GranPa and his young accomplice Zoe lead a peaceful life in their ranch, up until the day when their tranquil existence is disturbed by a strange event: the light of the Sun grows dimmer, as if it is disappearing. No time to waste, our two heroes rush off on a race against time to save the sunlight.

GranPa

As a retired scientist, GranPa spends his time fishing, guzzling eucalyptus sticks, and discussing the mysteries of the universe for hours on end. Yes, he is passionately interested in astronomy – so what could be better for talking about light?

Zoe

This little 10 year old dingo regularly comes visiting GranPa's ranch. If the two of them hang out so much together, it’s because they both share the same love of science.

BogBog

This is Bogbog. He’s a teenage alien who hasn’t found anything better to do than attack our planet. He’s a long-time enemy of GranPa, and we can imagine them fighting, their historic struggles, their endless thirst for vengeance, a long list of upset plans.

Science for all

Waves, colors, heat, velocity. Light covers many scientific basic knowledges. As a scientific approval we have worked with Stéphanie Escoffier, Director of Research with the CNRS at the Marseilles Centre of Particule Physics, and member of the SDSS project.

Who we are

3D Emotion (director / co-producer)

Created in September 2001 by Vincent Arrouy and Stéphane Bertrand, the 3D émotion studio began producing shows for planetariums in 2005 with The Race to Earth. Since then, six other films have been produced, including Polaris and Lucia, both international successes. With GranPa and Zoe, and now, Hazelnuts, the studio is once again introducing endearing characters and lively adventures on a background of space discovery.

Mediastro Promotion (co-producer)

Mediastro Promotion is an association whose aim is to promote a maximum of scientific discoveries through the medium of shows. With Polaris and Lucia, Grandpa & Zoé, and now Hazelnuts. Mediastro Promotion is offering planetariums top quality full dome shows, where science is promoted through action, for the enjoyment of spectators of all ages.

4k to 8k

This is the first time a show of this kind is on offer to planetariums. It was a new challenge for us, and we are proud to have stepped up to meet it. We offer our film in a final 8k stereoscopic version.

Reflexes

Bogbog

Who is he?

He spends all his time playing video games and talking back to his parents (who are too soft with him, I have to say). All this makes Bogbog a really rotten character, with zero compassion for any living species. He carries out his attacks from his bedroom, with his keyboard. But there is nothing sinister about Bogbog ; he’s not clever enough for that, he just wants to get on with his “game”.

Distinguishing features

- Him and GranPa are old enemies

- Loves playing video games

- Is afraid of his mother
