## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Snow’s verse meets hand-painted ink. A 1684 linked poem by Bashō splits into 36 animated fragments each helmed by a different auteur. Global collaboration short enough to pause between breaths. The visuals flicker like candlelight.

**Mood tags**: slow-burn, surreal, tender
