I HAVE DREAMED OF YOU SO MUCH

Emma Vakaewlova | Bulgaria, 2016 | 3 min

A short animation about the unrequitable love of the horizon for a girl floating in a little boat on the sea. The girl sails across the endless expanse of ocean, never reaching the horizon on the other side. The horizon longs to touch her, but he cannot. Based on the 1926 poem by Robert Desnos, “J’ai tant rêvé de toi” (I have dreamed of you so much), the work skillfully blends vividly hued, painting-like imagery with a gentle narration of the poem to tell a romantic tale of love, with the sharply delineated brushwork evoking the heartbreak of the horizon yearning for his unreachable beloved.
