The Cloud in Love

A beautiful young woman named Aishe tends a fragile oasis, the sole source of life amid the surrounding barrenness. An evil desert spirit, embodying destruction and greed, seeks to annihilate the oasis. As danger looms, a wandering cloud falls in love with Aishe and chooses to protect the oasis. The film features mixed techniques —puppets, marionettes, and hand-drawn animation— & based on a script by a Turkish poet Nâzım Hikmet Ran, who lived in exile in Soviet Union.
