Talli · Family animation · Original IP

An ordinary day in the mahalla — an adventure in a child's eyes.

Talli is a mischievous, quick-witted, warm-hearted five-year-old. Through his world you see the affection, the humour and the everyday magic of an Uzbek mahalla.

01 — The world of Talli

Where neighbours became family.

The courtyard, the bazaar, the holidays and the discoveries of childhood. Talli does not explain culture — it lets you feel it through story, laughter and warmth. That is why it works with subtitles and just as well without sound.

A silent teaser. The movement does the talking.

The short film is made to be watched without sound: on the site it plays quietly, automatically and on a loop — exactly as it does in a feed.
