Synopsis

Experimental cave-set animation blends painted tree imagery, wartime radio, and bombing sounds into vivid documentary-animation harmony.

Set in a cave imagined as an air-raid shelter, images of the surrounding trees are painted over directly on the film. Vivid colors intermixed with the sound of wartime radio communications and bombing create a harmonious composition of documentary and animation. (Source: Collaborative Cataloging Japan)
