DANCE WITH THE SEASHELLS

The pitch

One morning, in a small coastal town, young singer Erika is getting ready for her biggest concert. Suddenly, her concert-hall is struck by lightning and vanishes before her very eyes. Devastated, she meets Mehdi, the shrimp mascot employed to promote the concert. The two team up to find the missing building. Mehdi discovers Erika's secret passion: writing songs about little dogs. All he wants now is to hear it! Erika stubbornly refuses and pursues her research.

Mehdi insists and improvises his own version of the song with everything around him. He's a virtuoso! Erika is amused, abandoning her fruitless research to finally sing the song for him. Mehdi is deeply touched. She’s happy to have found an audience who understands her. Out of the blue, the concert-hall reappears! Erika, determined as ever, decides that this is the song she and Mehdi will sing on stage.

As they reach the concert hall, Erika's manager bursts in and discovers the singer's intentions. She forbids her to change the evening's program. Her audience came to hear her famous love songs, nothing else.
The concert begins. Erika greets her audience, but instead of singing, she confides her desire for emancipation. The audience cheers the young singer on. Grateful, she leaves the stage to join Mehdi, who is waiting for her outside. The two set off on new adventures!
