Watermelon Magic

International audiences will delight in this nearly wordless burst of color and music that draws inspiration from film classic 'The Red Balloon'. Weaving together documentary and narrative elements, 'Watermelon Magic' chronicles a season on the family farm, as young Sylvie grows a patch of watermelons to sell market. The film employs a dynamic visual style that uses high-resolution stills at varying shutter-burst frame rates with stunning time-lapse sequences to trace the journey from seed to flower to fruit. When harvest time arrives, Sylvie must decide if she will share her precious babies with the world.
