Even Mice Belong to Heaven (2021) 8

Czech Republic, France, Poland, Slovak Republic | 2021 | 87 min.

Two enemies, the mouse Šupito and the fox Bělobřich, meet again (reluctantly) in the animal afterlife after an unfortunate event. With the absence of natural instincts and the unusual distance from earthly things, a friendly bond develops between them over time. Their desire to stay friends forever is fulfilled even after returning to earth, where they are inadvertently born in exchanged roles. Friendship can overcome even the seemingly impossible.
