Nube

What would you do to stop your child from falling? In a poetic world where clouds live, love and eventually rain, Noma, a soft white cloud, discovers that her daughter Mixtli may be in danger of raining too soon. NUBE is a heartbreaking 3D animated short film about motherhood, fear, sacrifice and the impossible instinct to protect the person you love most. Directed by Christian Arredondo Narvaez and Diego Alonso Sánchez de la Barquera Estrada, this award-winning fantasy animation turns the life cycle of clouds into a moving story about maternal love, loss and letting go. 🎬SYNOPSIS: After witnessing an old dark stormy cloud painfully rain and die in sorrow, Noma, a puffy white cloud realizes that Mixtli, her daughter, a dark stormy cloud, is in danger of raining prematurely. 🔎ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS: Diego Alonso Sánchez de la Barquera Estrada: Animator and director born in Mexico city, I started my journey in the world of animation as a motion designer where I spent 12 years directing advertisment spots for TV.
