What is the film about?

About Love & Balance” is a love letter to love itself, and the relationship dynamics that span its origins, trials, and heartfelt conclusions.  Through delicate choreography and gentle intertwining of art, illustration, and animation, the film navigates us through this complex emotion. The film artfully explores the intricate dance that unfolds between souls, interweaving visual motifs of affection and tenacity.

A little background information...

Le Cube creative director Santiago Oddis says:

“I lost myself thinking about all my past relationships and how often they have had their own structure: good, bad, loving, boring, passive, aggressive, energetic, and so on. Still, I found all of them have this common thread, balancing of emotions. That kept me going, and I started crafting this animation.

“I was not trying to send a specific message about love or balance but rather looking for people to get their own meaning from it, just like a good song would do. With that idea in mind, I wanted to play with this animation by using fragments of situations that can both evoke the subject and escape the traditional storytelling format.
