Lava

On a tropical island in the Pacific Ocean, a lonely volcano watches the wildlife creatures frolic with their mates and wishes to find one of his own. He sings a song (lava) to the ocean each day for thousands of years, gradually venting his lava and sinking into the water, but does not realize that an undersea female volcano has heard him every day and has fallen in love with him. She emerges on the day when that volcano becomes almost extinct, but her face is turned away and she cannot see him. He sinks fully into the ocean, heartbroken, but revives, full of lava when he hears her singing his song to him. His fire is re-ignited, he erupts back to the surface, this time right next to her, and the two form a single island where they are together, singing his song together.

Le volcan Uku est à la recherche de l'amour... Lava est un joli court-métrage doté d’une musique dépaysante à souhait qui transporte avec délice le spectateur sur le bel archipel d'Hawaï.

Millionen von Jahren hat Vulkan Uku mitten im Ozean ein einsames Dasein gefristet, doch dann wird mit Lele ganz in seiner Nähe ein neuer Vulkan geboren. Diese hat das liebliche Lied, das Uku Tag für Tag für die Meerestiere um ihn herum gesungen hat und in dem er sich nach Liebe sehnt, schon lange unter der Meeresfläche vernommen. Nun singt Lele die gleiche Melodie, aber kann ihren Liebsten nicht sehen, weil sie in die falsche Richtung blickt. Wird die unmögliche Liebe doch noch ihre Erfüllung finden?

Ispirata alla bellezza remota delle isole tropicali e al fascino esplosivo dei vulcani dell'oceano, Lava è una storia d'amore musicale che si svolge nel corso di milioni di anni.
