THE OWL WHO MARRIED A GOOSE
The film is an adaptation of an Inuit legend about an owl who falls in love with a goose, and is overwhelmed by the events that follow. Clearly, to the Inuit, the foolish owl has broken an important rule of the North: don't try to be something other than what you are. Survival depends upon following closely the rules of nature. The story is told with sand animation. Old Inuit women who remember mimicking animal sounds to help with the hunting have made the soundtrack of voices and effects.
