“The Team” consists of forensics, legal and IT experts, along with profilers and psychologists; their cases take them to Europe’s major cities. The series benefits from Europe’s huge cultural diversity and is shot in original languages. It sheds light into the reality of today’s organized crime, as well as into the fates behind the crimes. “The Team” sees to it that justice wins and the victims’ dignity is restored.

The Tie

Director: An Vrombaut
Production company: Lunanime, Creative Conspiracy
Producer(s): Annemie Degryse, Luc Van Driessche

Synopsis

On a barren planet roams a small giraffe who is ignored by the taller giraffes. Then the small giraffe meets a giraffe with a very long neck, wearing a very long tie. He starts to climb up the tie. The two giraffes play together, the little one swinging on the tie of the big one. But suddenly, a malicious cloud appears and tears the tie in two. The little giraffe falls down. He lands safely, but then notices that the tall giraffe is stuck inside the cloud. The little giraffe uses the tie in ingenious ways to get the attention of the tall giraffe, all to no avail… Finally, the other giraffes help him build a ladder. The little giraffe wants to return his part of the tie to the tall one, but his friend refuses the gift. Instead, the tall giraffe turns the tie into a bow-tie propeller. The small giraffe frolics in the air around the tall one, unaware that their reunion will be short-lived…
