Gobelins animation graduates Antoine Dahan, Clement Delaby, and Rayan Takhedmit step into the director’s chair for the first time with this moody, mystery-soaked music video produced by Paris studio Les Monstres.

Hélène Orjebin, producer at Les Monstres: “When we saw this trio’s student film Clavel Gris at the Annecy Festival in 2023, we were astonished. When we finally met them we understood they needed a carte blanche project to fully express their creativity.
 

“A traditional 2D-animated story about the end of childhood, envy and desire. A story about a boy, three ladies and a bird, lost in a house which isn’t their home during an endless winter.”

 
“So, we organized a meeting with French composer Arnold Turboust (who has been totally cult in France since the 80’s). He plays with words and poetry as they do with design, colors, and animation. Once they met, they shared references and stories for two hours. After that, Arnold let them free to propose what they wanted for his music video.

“And here we are: a traditional 2D-animated story about the end of childhood, envy and desire. A story about a boy, three ladies and a bird, lost in a house which isn’t their home during an endless winter.”
