Director Statement

The short film animated by the studio La Cancán and scripted by Gemma Sanz narrates the consequences of climate change on the water cycle from an ecofeminist perspective with a rich and colorful mise-en-scene. The actress Irene Montalà gives voice to a drop of water that falls from a cloud, meets a girl and together they begin a journey of discovery.

The production has had the support of a team of scientists from the University of Girona and the CEAB who have managed to communicate in an entertaining and clear way the biological and geological consequences of this environmental phenomenon that threatens the survival of the planet.
