1920x1080 HD - 00:02:16 - Written, directed and animated by Silvia De Gennaro
SYNOPSIS:
A precious box, full of secret drawers and flaps, where a heterogeneous world is busy in a multitude of different activities.
Beijing is a red lacquered beehive, scented with honey and spices and full of hard-working bees, each humming their own song, but all together singing the city into life.
Una scatola preziosa, piena di cassetti e ribaltine segrete, dove un mondo eterogeneo si moltiplica in diverse attività.
Beijing è un alveare, rosso lacca, profumato di miele e di spezie e colmo d’api operose, Ognuna ronza la propria canzone, ma tutte insieme cantano la città.
