Synopsis: In any war, there is always a soldier who has lost and the women who are waiting for him to return. The dreams these women weave carry them to the farthest seas. Knowing there is no return, they weave and weave to treat the wounds of war.
Submitter Statement: I am passionate about telling stories through animation. With this medium, I discover the details of the world as well as the magical interrelationships between people, nature, and objects.
