A love Story

Told using stop-motion, two characters, cocooned in their love, embark on a heartbreaking journey of self-discovery. The richly textured world, made from soft cloud-like fabrics, is a deceptively innocent space for the raw pain of the lovers as they fight tooth and nail to hold on to what they once had. Their woven faces are kissed, knotted, ripped and torn in equal measure, everweathering under the harsh reality of love. It is a love story, but not like one you’ve seen before.
