<p>&#39;A Lifestory&#39; is an animation based upon &#39;The Hymn of the Pearl&#39;, a poem from the second century AD. We&#39;ve remade it into a surreal journey starring a space cat. The original poem is considered epic or mystical, we were drawn to it by its archetypical side, by its universal elements which can be found in everyone&#39;s psychology: the depart from the family home on a mission to realize our own destiny in a strange land, falling into sleep, forgetting the origin, then being rescued by our most intimate memory, to finally go back home.</p>
