A Short Love Story In Stop Motion By Carlos Lascano

This is a beautiful video I happened to come across, entirely randomly, on youtube. The animation is sheer genius, while the story reminds me ,somewhat, of the opening 15mins of Disney's 'Up'. 15 mins that had me sobbing my heart out by the way. Anyway, the song playing in the background is also one of my absolute favourites, Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros. The song reinforces the sweet simplicity of the story; the dream of a humble, unaffected and enduring kind of love. The sort of love that many would swear no longer exists, but which I feel many people, including myself, have had the honour of witnessing in their parents and grandparents (mashallah), arranged marriage or not. It is the kind of love which I feel is deceptive in it's simplicity and is achieved only through mutual respect, consideration, understanding and a constant give and take. It is the kind of love that I aspire to, and hope am one day worthy of.
