THE GIRL WITH THE OCCUPIED EYES, A Menina com os Olhos Ocupados | Animated short-film based on the picture book of the same name. Once upon a time, there was a little girl who, even when out and about, was always distracted. Eyes fixed on her phone, she didn’t notice the world around her or anyone who wanted to play. What could be done to “unoccupy” her eyes? The Girl With the Occupied Eyes is a Blablabla Media production, written and directed by André Carrilho with the financial support of ICA – Instituto do Cinema e Audiovisual and SPA – Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores.
