 | STOLEN DREAMS A short film by Gregor Haas Music: Swan Lake by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky A silent tribute to the people of Ukraine.Through music, memory, and movement, Stolen Dreams tells the story of childhoods lost to war – and the dream of freedom that endures. Set to the universal power of Swan Lake, the film unfolds as a visual elegy. Dedicated to the people of Ukraine – to their strength, their sorrow, and their unbroken hope. The film is entirely without dialogue. Its emotional core is carried by Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, a piece chosen deliberately despite the composer’s origin. The music transcends national identity — it is universal, timeless, and deeply human. In this context, it becomes a symbol of inner strength, sorrow, and resilience. The use of Swan Lake is not a contradiction, but a reclaiming of beauty and art in the face of destruction. [link] [comments] |
