This is what full time work yields after 3 years of determination. An incredible story that is nothing short of remarkable. Director Heiko van der Scherm had the wherewithall to hire Whoopi Goldberg for this short film that chronicles a scene in the life of two flowers in a sunlit wood.

It is heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. I’d love to think that in the end the flowers shared consciousness with what had come before. As in, they were of the same mind and knew where they came from, a sacrifice. I’m relating to flowers! Clearly it’s effective storytelling.

I still am not really certain of the total dynamic between these two flowers. Why did the Whoopi flower do what she did, knowing it would be her ultimate demise? Was it to get back at the beast that trampled her family? Then why did she take the time to become beautiful again if she was only going to kamikaze herself?
