Something from Spain before I move on to South America next weekend.
This little video is apparently based around a children's story -- I haven't attempted to find a translation for the text of the story. What captured my attention about this was the poignant whimsy of the music, which evokes the nostalgia and ephemeral magic and sadness of childhood, growing up, and the inexorable movement into our adult lives. I'm touched by the use of personal images and real memories in this video, and the symbology of the ship that keeps repeating. I sense the wistfulness of love lost and unrequited longing in the choice of the book, whose author seems to be someone of consequence to the person making this video.
In all, an emotional journey through the many landscapes of the human heart, and the fleeting moments of our lives.
