birth

The birth of mermaids and the cause of storms on sea. Poetic, reminding sabin Balasa paintings and small Tanagra statues - , it is one of that seductive short animations proposing not only the coherent story but beautiful emotion , eccentric explanations becoming plausible and a profound useful poetry of image.

From the wake up to the final of her mission, the life , in a day, of a mermaid.

The end is crowned by return to home of next mermaids generation . The water , the fisherman in his boat, pure helpless , the genesis and the sandwatch as pillars of a story who you feel very closed.

The result, fascinating show.
