The Flame and the Cotton Ball

Niels Bisbo, Denmark, 2012

23 min.DK/Short fictionChildren's films, Animation

A little live flame lives in Fire land. He works hard in the noisy mines but he doesn't like it there. He would rather lie on his back, looking up in the sky daydreaming. One day he sees a strange white creature behind a rock. It looks like a living cloud in the shape of a girl. And this turns his world upside down. But the cloud-girl disappears, and his desire to look for her drives him out of Fire land. When he finally finds the girl, she proves to be made of a much harder fabric than her soft appearance. And she is not made of clouds but of cotton. The situation becomes critical as Flame falls in love with her. How can you be with someone who gets so easily burnt?
