A love poem in which the inordinate passion of a botanist for his wife singer pushes the latter to break the boundaries of the real and the imaginary, of the possible and the impossible, of life and death.
This short film of about ten minutes is entirely done in pixilation and stop motion. He is inspired by different genres such as experimental animation, sci-fi and fantasy films.

This melody is the main theme of the film, the song through which the character seeks to revive his late wife. We hear it in its entirety only at the very end of the story, before we only perceive bits or distorted versions.
Composed for the film after a text from the madrigal O dolorosa gioia by Carlo Gesualdo (1611), this theme is recorded by the Paris Conservatory Orchestra and sung by the mezzo-soprano Pauline Texier.

O dolorosa gioia,
O soave dolore,
Per cui quest’alma è mesta e lieta more!
O miei cari sospiri,
Miei graditi martiri,
Del vostro duol non mi lasciate privo
Poiché sì dolce mi fa morto e vivo
