Warning for violence, gore, and dark themes

A beautiful short film and discussion with its creators. Abstracted predator-prey death is involved, if that disturbs you.

(this is really the best one in the movie)

first day
Approaching timidly
what lurks here?


second day
an old blue bull
i approach but he retreats
can't i lay here next to you?

i sleep alone by the tree


third day
my good friend, we played dress-up with pinecones and lavender
we knew where to run
we performed for the vast forest
i drank and became a raven, and you a rabbit
white and black
i want to stay together

i saw you leave hesitantly
you looked back
but i was already asleep

did i hear you cry for me?


fourth day
There is nothing to fear...
Let's dance!

dance...!


dance...

... yawn

sleeping

blink away the blur
who is this in front of me?
we're running and playing
my legs tangle
like reeds in the wind
but we run so fast.
oh
another friend
and another
I'll follow you
sniffing faces delicately
may I have a kiss?

the grass is soft underfoot and i am tumbling

too many faces...
another?
so sleepy
