Synopsis:
A summer music camp; We follow the Horn Player, the Conductor, and the conductor’s son, Franz. Their stories are woven into a triangular drama, filled with music and rapid shifts between fun and seriousness.
Comments:
Among the thorns took approx. 7 years to produce. About 4 of them were dedicated for the animation process, created without any aid of computers. The film is made in a proprietary animation technique. From a Swedish perspective, at the time the film was made it was the longest movie ever made in the “Stop Motion”, more definite as “Cut Out”.
