After witnessing an old dark stormy cloud painfully rain and die in sorrow, Noma, a puffy white cloud realizes that Mixtli, her daughter, a dark stormy cloud, is in danger of raining prematurely.

Intentions

From the outside, this short film is about smooth and ethereal cute clouds. Living in the sky, away from mundane dangers. But as a second lecture, this is a story is about a child suffering a terminal disease and a mom willing to do everything to save her. Even if she has to risk her own life. We wanted to contrast soft textures with rough emotions as we intend to talk to the general public about a very raw, strong and mature subject in a way that even kids could understand and despite the seriousness of the subject, find it enjoyable. We want people in the end to get a complex feeling of mourn relief and satisfaction. We want this short film to resonate with the people that has gone through this experience. We want them to feel supported and understood.

We both have gone through difficult times within our families. Different relatives, different ages, different outcomes. This short film comes from our own experiences  and feelings. This is a tribute to all the people with seriously ill loved ones, making everything in their power to save them. And for the ill ones, that will keep fighting till the end, even if they're tired, out of pure love for their relatives.

-Christian & Diego
