Director's Word
"This film is a blend of adventure, history, and humor, which needed to be conveyed in a subtle yet tangible way through the soundtrack. I believe we succeeded in creating fairytale-like music that is perfectly in sync with the universe of the story, while still managing to wink at the audience."
