A tender, short animation about a young girl with dreams of self-fulfillment. Ideal for classroom discussions, essays and activities related to literature, film, and coming-of-age narratives. Consider the use of colour, metaphor and symbolism in the film. What do you think they represent, and what effects or impressions did they have on you? Why do you think the filmmaker picked the images and symbols that they did? Choose a theme similar to the ones in the film (such as growing up, change, self-fulfillment, and so on) and describe what images, metaphors, symbols, and colours you would use and why. Compare your choices to those of your classmates.
