pretty awesome. the metallica on cello was sweet.

i feel like it would be more powerful if you could understand the lyrics to the songs.

that really was very impressive. but like everyone else was saying in other comments, it must be the music that made people cry.

It's in the Ukraine, and she "signs" her sand painting in the very end with 1945, so it's likely a pictographic development of WWII and the conditions in-country due to WWII from start to finish. It might've been WWI then WWII as I thought I saw a couple of wars and a nice bit of peace in the middle.

The music definitely would've been much more powerful in person (as it always is, our pussy ass speakers don't compete to being in a studio with an orchestra dropping science on our plebe asses).

it's about Stalin's time

Literally millions of Ukranians were killed by his regime, and by the war.

WWII. She writes 1945 at the end, when the war ended and the soviets regained control of the ukraine from adolf & co.

im aware phenomenal is very strong, thats why i used it. between the mixing of drawing techniques and attention to detail, the order of drawing figures for maximum impact (the final scene), transitions, the music, blending the art and music, plus the girls emotion makes it so much stronger.
