Snow Globe Short Film by blankytwo

Snow Globe is about a little girl wandering around the ruins of what once was our world. The only witness to what once was, is and remains the empty bones. Humanity is on the edge of the cliff and the few survivors have become like animals. Compassion is no longer a word, and it's all about ensuring their own survival.

One day the little girl finds a dusty old Snow Globe that reminds her of what once was. She is taken back to the last Christmas she celebrated with her family.

Snow Globe is a pessimistic portrayal of what is beautiful, among those hurt and dark. About how a single good memory among one thousand poor, may be enough to give us the strength to not give up, no matter how dark and hopeless it looks.
