The Mystery of the Moonflower

It is a story inspired by the ballad "The Lady of Lake Świteź" and other works of the Romantic era, containing motifs appearing in Slavic mythology, legends and folk tales.

This animation is also a visualization of a piece of music by Bartosz Chajdecki entitled "Gorato czyli wariacje na temat FASDESA", which was composed before the film was created. Thanks to this, each sound finds its reflection in what we see on the screen.
