Canada, 1988 (animation, 4 minutes, black and white)

Film Description [in French] :
"À l'aide de lignes pures et d'une observation exacte, [Michèle] Cournoyer montre une femme vieillissante qui perçoit son corps comme une fleur qui se fane et pour qui la jeunesse est fugitive comme le temps d'une rose."
-- Marcel Jean (source)

Film Description:
"Animated film that evokes aging through the painful dance of a woman who, under the folds of her skin, hides her youth and her broken heart. With the dancers of La La La Human Steps."
-- Mubi (source)
