Beguine is a tragic love story that begins just after a couple have broken up. The main character has to conquer his heartbreak (and his inner demons) before finding the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
The video won several prizes and was featured at film festivals all over the world, such as the Dance on Camera Festival (as mentioned in the New York Times), the Brooklyn Film Festival, the Mexico Film Festival (Golden Palm Award), the Holland Animation Festival (jury prize /special mention), the Stockholm International Film Festival, the Cinedans Festival and the Dutch Film Festival.
