Synopsis

During the Covid-19 pandemic, a student filmmaker decided to combine multiple animation styles to recreate a conversation she shared with her mother and grandmother, in which they revealed the backstories behind their favourite jewellery pieces. The result is a vivid and heart-warming
short which takes its audiences through three generations of family history.
