Descendants, by Heiko Van der Scherm and Holger Shoenberger, is a 14-minute animated short; filmed as part of a diploma project for the Institute of Animation and Filmakademie Baden-Werttemberg.
It is a charming little tale about two solemn flowers that inhabit the edge of a clearing and live in a changeless reality from one day to the next. One is young, inquisitive, and full of life while the other is ancient, cryptic and bitter. Then one day, by a twist of fate, a stranger appears who will change their lives forever.
With exquisitely crafted CGI, direction, dialogue (with the voices of Whoopi Goldberg and Christi Scott-Cashman), and story structure this little masterpiece is both pleasing to the eye and warming to the heart.
