“Everyone will tell you it is hard to let go of pain… and it is. Since we are children we have been told to embrace the best of our experiences & disregard the worst… But what happens when the most beautiful memories from our past end up doing the most damage to our future?
How do we let go?
How do we move forward?
The past is comfortable The past is familiar The past is the prison I’m fighting to escape”
Beautiful Animation Short Film: The Alchemist’s Letter
When Veridian, an estranged young man, receives his late alchemist father Nicolas’ inheritance (voice of Academy Award® nominated John Hurt), he is exposed to the ill-fated reality that his father built a tumultuous gold making machine powered by his own memories. The film takes us on an enchanted journey through the vessels of the machine where we explore the contents of the alchemist’s most precious memories, all in an attempt to give his son one last life lesson and save him from following down the same fateful path.
