Synopsis

An experimental animation about a disaster that destroys everything in its way, but from chaos emerges a glimpse of a new beginning; unknown, but hopeful? In vivid handmade drawings the film is a mesmerizing, symbolic exploration of global politics and an inner journey through how a crisis can transform you.
