Synopsis: In this animation film, three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both an ancient tragedy about a goddess separated from her beloved husband and a modern comedy about an animator whose husband dumps her by e-mail. The action is set to 1920's jazz vocals. Winner at Berlin and Denver International Film Festivals.

“I am enchanted. I am swept away. I am smiling from one end of the film to the other. It is astonishingly original.”

–Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
