Strings

Strings, 2004
Director: Anders Ronnow-Klarlund
88’, Colour, English

We are in a universe where all of us are tied and dependent to the place where marionettes at the tip of strings extending to the sky live. In this world where life flows through the strings hanging from the heavens to the earth, a century-old war is waging on between two races. According to the prophecy, a hero who is a stranger both to himself and to his people will put an end to this relentless war that causes thousands of strings to break off and that sets the sky aflame. A fascinating puppet animation, a saga where strings that reach to eternity and puppets tied to them live...
