Synopsis

⁣Sun Symphony is a 2D-animated and rotoscope-inspired short film set in a near future where sunlight is a rare commodity, and companies construct facilities for people to pay and experience the last traces of natural sunlight before its extinction. We follow a man as he nervously waits his turn to experience what may be his last encounter with the sun and the memories they bring. The aim is to evoke a universal experience viewers can empathize with—a simple moment of feeling the summer sun's warmth amidst impending grim reality, capturing the essence of the calm before the storm.
