Even the harshest hearts can bloom
Amid a vast desert, a solitary mountain reluctantly shelters a withering seed. Over time, the mountain’s hardened exterior softens, and its act of compassion brings forth new life, as the seed blossoms into a vibrant flower atop its peak. Created entirely during the quarantine period, this short film combines 2D animation and stop-motion to tell a poetic tale of growth, transformation, and the power of small acts of kindness.
