About This Movie

It’s not your typical animation; the steampunk aesthetic adds a layer of intrigue that feels both whimsical and contemplative. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the intricate visuals and the hauntingly beautiful score by Cris Derksen.

The film feels like a journey through a dreamlike landscape, making it distinctive in its approach to cultural storytelling through experimental art forms.
