Director's Statement

Working on AMALIMBO was a way of dealing with death for me. It is a story that takes place in a reality and a dream-altered reality at the same time. Animation and live action, dialogue between characters and backgrounds suggest the presence of the dreamworld in the real world. AMALIMBO wonders about death and also about the force of life.
