Yves Geleyn creates an enthralling world where a careful plan avoids cosmic consequences.

Yves Geleyn, a director celebrated for his artful simplicity and impactful narratives, draws inspiration from fables and folklore, infusing his films with a poignant moral depth. In this film for Cyramza, he weaves a whimsical, metaphorical tale highlighting the significance of sequencing and the valor found in the seemingly inconspicuous. The narrative unfolds as a poetic exploration of the interconnectedness of individuals, emphasizing that even the smallest cogs play a vital role in the grand machinery.

The harmonious blend of CG and 2D animation crafts a distinctive universe that is both fantastical and grounded. CG intricacies contribute to larger-than-life world-building, while 2D characters provide a hand-drawn charm and nostalgic allure. Yves' decision to set the story in a Solar System, mirroring the complexity of the human body, invites viewers into interconnected systems that are simultaneously beautiful and mysterious. The inclusion of an orrery acts as a visual guide, unraveling the intricate workings of the system, and introduces a diverse tapestry of characters with thoughtfully crafted shapes, textures, and design-centric origin stories.
