In a once-harmonious village, young baker Hyacinthe discovers that his destiny is far greater than he ever imagined. On the eve of the annual ball, where he is expected to choose a life partner, he begins to feel a strange, plant-like growth inside him. Fleeing the fear and suspicion of the villagers, Hyacinthe sets off on an extraordinary journey. Along the way, he meets Noé, a carefree and wild faun, who becomes both guide and companion. Together, they will face unexpected challenges. In the heart of their magical adventure, Hyacinthe will learn to embrace his transformation, find true love, and ultimately restore balance to his village. Hyacinthe is a tale of love, acceptance, and the healing power of magic in a world torn apart by fear and ignorance.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
