The Shape of Life
A flock moves in the sky among the mountains. While a woman begins to dance in a large hall, the same flock seen a moment ago enters and starts to move around her. From the combination of those movements, a flow of life and memories is generated. In the end, the flock with which the woman dances and flies is nothing more than a particulate entity formed by many small diamond rings.
