Eternal Spring is a unique masterpiece. Through a skillful combination of animation, real-life footage, and heart-breaking interviews, the film manages to make the story and its characters come to life on the screen and in the heart of the spectators. Looking at the beautiful drawings as a spectator, one reconnects to his or her own childhood memories and builds a deeper connection with the people who had to and ARE STILL GOING through this brutal perspecution. Those grim memories become even more real through animated characters' lives, than real-life pictures and real news coverage.
As a precious takeaway, the movie reminded me that real heroes are those whose strength is kind, pure, and transcending the self. And that strength is most of the time is not seen on the surface, but can make far-reaching changes. Carrying this beautiful message with me through the day helps me to be stronger in my kindness, tolerance, and in my care for the ones around me.
A huge thank-you to the creators of the movie!
