Tongue Tied
In a bar, a speed-dating. Birth of an improbable and miraculous love in unsuitable circumstances ...
The fate of sailors' wives is not easy. For six months they do not see their husbands, for six months they raise their children and wait for news from their loved ones. The boy's mother of this story also lives from letter to letter, in separation. Every day she anxiously awaits the arrival of the postman and smiles only when she receives the long-awaited envelope. She gives all her tenderness and attention to her little son - she will either sew a torn button, then cook a delicious dinner, but her thoughts are constantly with her husband. And the son of a naval officer understands his mother, regrets and helps her to go through a difficult separation.

Elephants Dream is the story of two strange characters exploring a capricious and seemingly infinite machine. The elder, Proog, acts as a tour-guide and protector, happily showing off the sights and dangers of the machine to his initially curious but increasingly skeptical protege Emo. As their journey unfolds we discover signs that the machine is not all Proog thinks it is, and his guiding takes on a more desperate aspect. Elephants Dream is a story about communication and fiction, made purposefully open-ended as the world’s first 3D animated “Open movie”. The film itself is released under the Creative Commons license, along with the entirety of the production files used to make it (roughly 7 Gigabytes of data). The software used to make the movie is the free/open source animation suite Blender along with other open source software, thus allowing the movie to be remade, remixed and re-purposed with only a computer and the data on the DVD or download.
