From short film to audio play

The same night. The same voice. Only without the picture.

The short film's script has become a fully scored audio play. Every character has a voice of their own, and beneath it all runs a bed of sound that never breaks.

Watercolour from the short film: the prince's golden face with closed eyes and a tear, a swallow below.
The language bridge

One sentence, two languages

Both versions are linked sentence by sentence. What you hear lights up in both texts. Tap the other language and the voice switches without losing the thread.
