HENRI & THE MACHINE

What’s the point of art? Henri is full of questions when he goes on a trip to a big art gallery. Who wants pictures of old soup cans or melting watches? But when Henri sees a sign that reads IS THIS A CHAIR? he becomes a little more curious….unleashing an explosion of creativity!
