From the music of UK composer Rachel Portman, Vietnamese-Czech filmmaker Diana Cam Van Nguyen crafts a story of animated fruits that is a celebration of life, a bat mitzvah of a film, dense with color and cheer. This short film is part of the 2x25 Project of Film Fest Gent and the World Soundtrack Awards. The project commissioned 25 composers to compose a short piece of music, after which 25 filmmakers made short films that are the ultimate symbioses of music and cinematography, fitting completely within the DNA of the festival. The result: 25 exceptional films where the music inspired the form, narrative and texture.
