Requiem for Romance - Amazing Animation About The Beautiful End of a Relationship (Video) | Third Monk image 7

A young couple’s secret love affair comes to a bittersweet end during an evening phone call as cell phone static creates distance between them.

In this “crouching love, hidden breakup” story, inspired by 50’s Shanghai water ink animation & kung fu films, themes of distance, tradition, art and longing dominate a telephonic conversation as a martial arts tango provides the visual backdrop.

– Writer/Director/Animator: Jonathan Ng

The sounds of the animation were composed by Kid Koala, from Deltron 3030.
