72nd Berlin International Film Festival Golden Bear Award for Best Short Film (Nominee)
It begins with an argument. A river of tears bursts its banks and washes the heroine away into a surreal world where symbols, references, and personal experiences dance together. A baby learns to play the flute from a goose before becoming a girl and using the flute to drink up the river and swallow her teacher, the goose. A bone remains with which she draws herself a belly that gives birth to little creatures that suckle, swim, scream and explode and do all the other things that newborn babies do. In a pastel-colored frenzy, the filmmaker traces the development from being an infant to an adult woman and artist.
