Just out of school, Laura Alves went to the École Émile Cohl to continue and improve her drawing. She became interested in combining animated images and sound, and specialised in animated film with the idea of animating the characters she liked to draw. Attracted both by pop culture and colourful fairy worlds, she naturally decided to make her graduation film on these subjects. Ondine is a fairy tale for children combining gentleness, magic, and lightness.
