All films of Anna are silent and do not need any translation: - she is using very unusual and evocative images to recount a universal archetypal story that will touch very deeply people of any nationality or background. I believe this is her main talent - to "speak" through animation the language that everyone can instantly relate to.
Everyone will take his own message from the story.
To me this film is about a woman who unwillingly looses her magic (or rather, it is taken away from her), becomes a wife and a mother, and lives an ordinary life, until she finds her true self back. The animation is superb and singular. This short tale will stay with you as long as you live - as universal stories usually do .
