Film Description:
I make “Festive Silence animation”, which is my concept. In this story the butterfly is the storyteller. She invites the bird to go on an inner journey which starts in the silence of a dark forest. In order to solve current issues she prays in the forest trough lighting candles. There is a Maria cave, but for the butterfly God always has a motherly, caring form that can vary throughout the story. Later this female God becomes the Wind that created the whole universe with tender love.
Together they learn that there will always be help from “above”, if they follow their soul. And the soul is materialized in the deer. This deer has the ability to look through the heart of the other, and only through the warmth of its heart, it can change things. The bird and the butterfly gradually transform synchronous and thereby can come really “home”.
