There she is: little and fragile, on her blue dress, as blue as her eyes.

It is cloudy, yet she is sitting on a bench at the park, watching the world
around: the playground, the trees, the people passing by...

Some butterflies start flitting around her, inviting her to play with them.
She picks a glossy paper from her school case and folds it into another
butterfly, this one bright and blue, to swing it among its imaginary friends.

Suddenly, a naughty gust of wind seizes her butterfly away, high above,
blowing her illusion to the unreachable tree tops.

The sun comes through the foliage, casting the shadows of the world.
She sees herself cast on the ground and smiles: her long, long legs
would now allow her to catch her butterfly. As going after it, she finds
herself having fun on the playground, climbing trees, running across
the park... and leading us through different visions of the same reality,
blurring the boundaries between the fantastic and the real world..

How determining can reality be, and how can fantasy unleash an
unexpected freedom?

Thanks lara.. The picture looks enticing.

I hope that the link is the entire movie. If it is, this should probably be moved to the 'Shorts' section...

It is (more or less) the entire movie, soundtrack replaced by a special extended mix of the song "Maybe" by London Grammar. The original version (which is IMO not as good) can be seen at the above link.

Wasn't sure if it is a "short" or a "music video", but as an animation it is probably off-topic anyway.

It is an amazing piece of art, though.

The London Grammar version is 7 minutes out of the 12 minute short film. The video at http://www.carloslascano.com/carloslasc ... _asob.html is just the 1 minute trailer.

Here is the full version.

IMHO, the emotional impact from the twist ending resonates more after watching the full version. Most of what was cut out from the LG version is shadow scenes, which is in a sense the whole point of the movie. The animation is great though. They appeared to use a live actress animate the shadow scenes.
