What happens

The Aroma of Tea is a 2006 Dutch animated short film written and directed by Michaël Dudok de Wit. It shows how a small sphere travels in a determined and rhythmical manner through land-scapes, emerging at the end into a larger sphere of white light. Both the graphic brushstroke and the music, with its haunting rhythms, are strikingly simple and direct. The theme of the film, a quest followed by a union, is as old as time and recognizable despite its limitless variations. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
