SUMMARY:Oscar Shorts: Animated
DESCRIPTION:Butterfly (15 Minutes)\n\nIn the sea\, a man swims. As he does\
 , memories come to the surface. From his early childhood to his life as a 
 man\, all his memories are linked to water. Some are happy\, some glorious
 \, some traumatic. This story will be that of his last swim. It will take 
 us from the source to the river – from the waters of childhood pools to 
 those of swimming pools – from a North African country to the shores of 
 the Mediterranean – from Olympic stadiums to water retention basins – 
 from concentration camps to the dream beaches of Reunion.\n\nForevergreen 
 (13 Minutes)\n\nA joyful adventure featuring an orphaned bear cub and a fa
 therly tree turns serious when the cub is tempted by the allure of easy fo
 od. Fire and deadly danger ensue as the cub is left bereft of hope and on 
 the verge of a ruinous end\, until the sacrificial love of the tree falls 
 into place.\n\nThe Girl Who Cried Pearls (17 Minutes)\n\nIn Montreal\, at 
 the dawn of the 20th century\, a poor boy falls in love with a girl whose 
 sorrow turns into pearls. He sells them to a ruthless pawnbroker\, who hun
 gers for more. Tempted by greed\, the boy must choose between love and for
 tune. The choice could damn his soul. From the Oscar-nominated team of Chr
 is Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski (Madame Tutli-Putli)\, this meticulously 
 crafted film is a testament to the magic of stop-motion animation. With ha
 ndmade puppets\, mesmerizing narration by Colm Feore and a haunting score 
 by Patrick Watson\, The Girl Who Cried Pearls is a timeless parable of des
 ire\, deception and the price of innocence.\n\nRetirement Plan (7 Minutes)
 \n\nRay (Domhnall Gleeson) lays out a beautiful life for himself in his re
 tirement plan. He will pursue his curiosities\, challenge his limiting bel
 iefs\, embrace fear\, beauty\, even the complexities of wine culture. Ray 
 will check off every box on every list for every interest he ever even hal
 f-thought about. He will discover what he loves (Italian red wine)\, what 
 he hates (camping). He will grow and learn and change rapidly. It’s beau
 tiful and it’s messy and achingly relatable. But Ray is forgetting somet
 hing. The one thing he treats as flippantly disposable will be the single 
 most rapidly depleting resource of his future self. His healthy-ish\, agil
 e enough 40-something-year-old body. Also\, actual retirement time is not 
 endless\, but guaranteed to be finite.\n\nThe Three Sisters (14 Minutes)\n
 \nThree sisters live a lonely life on an isolated island\, each in their o
 wn small house. One day\, circumstances develop in such a way that they ar
 e forced to rent out one of the houses.\n\nÉIRU (13 Minutes)\n\nWhen the 
 water mysteriously disappears from the well in a warrior clan’s village\
 , an intrepid child descends into the belly of the earth to retrieve it. 
 Éiru is the story of a child in search of a challenge\, and a goddess in 
 search of a champion.
