Boulbi and the Scientist- Storyboard

 
Boulbi & the Scientist
      This story is about a woman scientist who has dedicated her life to her career and enjoyed lots of success.  In her old age, she has one regret; that she never had a family of her own.  Unable to reverse time, she takes things in her own hands and applies all that she has learned over the years to start one last project.
