The creation of the world took seven days. But it only takes one to upset its delicate balance. An animated world woven from colourful threads is thus swallowed up before our eyes by a destructive, all-consuming black thread, through which the film shows what can happen if we break the eternal bonds and let one force overwhelm everything else. 

The film won the Best Student Animation Award at the Palm Springs IFF 2024 and a special mention at the Krakow Film Festival 2024.

 

The film is part of the Hidden World and can be individually combined with films from The Abyss, What If? and Carousel of Emotions.
