Logline: This stream of consciousness animation, set to J. S, Bach The Well Tempered Clavier, weaves in and out between abstract and nightmarish visions. Then the dream ends…but does it?
Synopsis: The animation begins with a simple abstract image that grows quickly and exponentially, as does the virus. This interpretation is inspired and reflects the quality of the music. The images evolve to represent hospital hallways, masked nurses and exploding notes and numbers that burst out in waves, as does the music magnificently interpreted by the great Andras Schiff.
