Uma jovem procura uma ligação com a força viva da natureza. Usa o seu talento para a taxidermia para “restaurar” os animais no seu habitat natural. Mas a sua verdadeira busca começa quando encontra um rolo de filme por revelar em cada um dos animais que trata. A sua obsessão leva-a a procurar uma explicação para a ligação que sente e que lhe atormenta os sonhos e os momentos despertos. A young woman seeks a connection with the living force of nature. She uses her talent for taxidermy to ‘restore’ the animals to their natural habitat. But her true quest begins when she starts finding a roll of undeveloped film in each of the animals she treats. Her obsession drives her to seek an explanation for the connection she feels and that haunts her in her dreams as well as in her waking moments.

Nota dos realizadores
Our short animation film is centred upon a female protagonist who uses taxidermy to connect deeper with nature. The idea of being truly connected with nature is a close message to our hearts. Through our film Imbued Life we sought to explore this relationship with nature further. We are both fascinated with nature and animals and this film allowed us to present an introspective reflection upon the beauty of the ‘consciousness’ or ‘life force’ of nature. Using puppet stop-motion animation technique allowed us to play with the illusion of life and stillness in a miniature physical world.
This is our second short film using puppets and stop motion animation.
