The cast features Millie Davis and Mena Massoud . Having premiered at the 60th Annecy International Animation Film Festival, the film tells the tale of 12-year-old Syrian girl Lamya who is forced to flee as war closes in on her family home in Aleppo. Among the few possessions she takes with her is a book by Sufi mystic poet Rumi, given to her by a kindly tutor. Facing grave danger, Lamya finds more than just solace in Rumi’s words. Tumbling into a mysterious and haunting dream world she meets the poet himself, as a young boy running away from violence in his own time, the year 1221. Together they travel through a fantastical land, battling the monsters that follow them from the real world, as Lamya helps young Rumi find his calling and write the poem that 800 years later will save her life. Playing over the film’s opening credits, ‘Fireflies’ offers a graceful introduction to Willis’s unique, imaginative score that interleaves lavish, melancholy set pieces with disorienting threat that sometimes erupts into violence . In conceiving the soundtrack, composer brought together chamber strings, harp, soprano, reed flute and electronic sound design that draws on audio recordings of the sounds of modern warfare, including bombs, tanks and breaking glass |
