Madre Augustine dirige uma pequena escola convento onde ensina música para jovens de diferentes classes sociais. Grandes mudanças, no entanto, a levam a repensar seu futuro e sua vocação.

An allegory of mankind heading for disaster, this animated short is a tragic vision inspired by the 4th movement of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Drawing on the composer’s brilliant ability to evoke work and labour in his music, animator Patrick Bouchard brings earth to life through animated clay sculptures, creating a tactile nightmare in which man is his own slave driver.
