Crossings

Křižovatky

Crossings are a sign that something new is about to begin.

In the vast microcosm of an anthill, we follow the cycle of life of its tiny inhabitants—from daily labor to dramatic moments. The ants work on construction, gather food, and care for their offspring while their community faces minor conflicts and external threats. The joy of a successful harvest is replaced by anxiety over unfamiliar objects that disrupt their harmony. When a mysterious human hand appears, a seemingly trivial event turns into a struggle for survival. The film serves as a visual metaphor for the fragility of life and the unexpected power of nature.

Director’s statement
My film visually symbolizes life's fragility and nature's unexpected strength, reminding us that every crossing signals the beginning of something new.
