Contrasted between beautiful details and horrible atmosphere, the protagonist continues to sing and enjoy the beautiful details left in her home, ignoring the rockets and death machine that is trying to approach her, believing that all the power of the world, even the evil power would unify to make her wish come true.
Metaphor is a poetical short animation film by Wael Toubaji inspired by a poem written by Amani Ibrahim
The poem says:
“I love Jasmine, I love it that I carry it between my lips, I walk away and look around at the rest of the trees and without thinking, I pick up a Jasmine flower from each, and hang it on my mouth until my head looks like a vase.
A rocket falls down, it hits ten meters in front of me, it doesn’t explode, but I explode, explode of laughing at the rocket that has been disappointed because of the Jasmine.”
