Yiós, a lonely boy from a mythical world in the clouds, is bullied by the other children for having a head which shines like the sun. After being pushed down to Earth as the loser of a wicked game, he wins something far more important.

On a mythical playground in the clouds, creatures and gods drop off their kids on their way to work. Amongst the children with horns, wings, and snakes for hair, is the unpopular little Yiós, with a shining sunny crown on his head, inherited from his father Helios.

Annoyed by his shining head, the children play a cruel game. Instead of winning a kiss, Yiós is pushed down to Earth, where he makes an unexpected acquaintance with someone who appreciates his uniqueness.

The film speaks about what it is like to grow up and be different. What it is like to not fit in with others and to be pushed aside, to the edge of the cloud. It’s a film about finding someone who appreciates our glow. Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe! delivers its story full of riveting action and typical childhood problems, with a sweet message at the end, and humor that will make even those “kids” who are already very big, laugh.
