THE WELL

Category: Edition 2000

Synopsis
To get out of a well and reach for the light, a small creature clings on to a gas bubble. He rises, holding tightly onto the bubble, crossing hostile spaces, standing up to cold darkness and loneliness. When he finally reaches the light, he is unable to join to the party. When he meets love, he is carried away by his bubble. He will tame it in the end, playing and floating with it in the light.
