When Juliette causes an accident that draws the ire of the local inhabitants, the Mayor gives Juliette to the beautiful songstress Selma and sentences Carmen to marry his son as punishment. The sisters must find a way to escape before the wedding bells ring, but the key to their journey home lies with Sirocco, the mysterious wizard feared for his ferocious storms.

Maya Phillips New York Times 09/19/2024
The film’s many whimsies don’t detract from the resonant themes at the fable’s core, about the transformative qualities of grief and the indelible bond between sisters... Go to Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com 08/16/2024
4/4
Patient and kindhearted, a painted storybook in motion, "Sirocco and the Kingdom of the Winds" is a lovely glimpse of what animation can be. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International 06/13/2023
This is a distinctive and original piece of world-building that, at the same time, pays homage to legendary figures in animation – mainly Hayao Miyazaki. Go to Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage Oct 14
The film aims to tell a smart, fun story, not too dark, but not completely transparent either. It's a film that will allow children to explore the screen precisely because of these atmospheres... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Alejandro Lingenti La Nación (Argentina) 02/20/2025
4/5
Chieux offers a dazzling dreamlike excursion whose plot is clearly inspired, at least in part, by...Alice in Wonderland... It is a film aimed at children, but its psychedelic spirit is likely to connect more with adults. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness 11/07/2024
4/5
... an animated tale exploring imagination, perception, love, and grief, each aspect delicately handled so that a child of any age can experience SIROCCO and be open to its beautiful message, adorned with surreal art direction and sublime musical scoring. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Truly unique See more jesse v 08/11/2024 what if the French wanted to make their own studio Ghibli movie, but wanted to show their coloring designs instead of having a thorough story. the third act has no real conclusions. See more Sam S @RT41614073 08/13/2024 The animation was spectacular. Very imaginative and whimsy. A cross between wizard of oz, adventure time, alice in wonderland etc. I gave this film a lower score because I felt that the film lacked a strong story point and character development.
