Dancing on a Volcano

In an unsafe world, a girl and a crane try to dance.

An animated short inspired by the story of the Japanese girl Sadako Sasaki, a victim of the atom bomb on Hiroshima.
Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes have become a symbol for the longing for peace and a world without atomic weapons.
