How a Kite Flies (2017)
Sir Ian McKellen voices an alcoholic kite. A down-and-out who prefers to hang around his dingy local strip joint rather than get out into the blue sky. But when memories of happier times come back to haunt him, he decides to take action and try one last flight.
Director: Ben Gough
