Synopsis
A young girl wanders alone through a dry, barren forest. Yet, there’s something atop her head that spawns life. Eventually, her journey is interrupted by another life sprouting from this fertile head. This encounter holds the potential for an unexpected friendship to blossom, while also allowing it the freedom to chart its own course. When the girl sheds tears, they suggest both a farewell and a celebration. Finally, the earth becomes moist. This work offers an intriguing exploration of animation technique over photographs, creatively toying with the expression of “having worms in one’s head”. (C.A.)
