This animated Bulgarian film takes as its starting point Greek myths about women transforming into trees, animals and plants in order to escape the predations of men.
Beautifully drawn, the short morphs women into trees, tears into streams, faces into mountainsides. The gorgeous classical soundtrack is New Age, and creates a sensory impression of floating, dreamy night-scapes and gentle breezes in the trees.
What's most interesting about this short is that the film never really collapses into an anti-male screed (as many of the Greek myths it is based on do). Watch for the scene in which a sleeping woman is illuminated by gentle lightning (yes, gentle lightning!). A man's sleeping figure is combined with hers. It's little things like that which make this film a real delight -- intellectually, aurally and visually.
