Artist’s note: I went away for a year, and apart from cycling countless solitary kilometers, I used this time to sketch ideas for stories and characters. One particular lonely figure popped up again and again. During this time, my girlfriend sent me a half-English, half-Spanish arrangement of “Moon River” that she and her brother had recorded. I listened to it a lot. Many months later, back at home, the piece of music and my lonely character came together. The story serves simply to explain how a piece of music can be a nice way of remembering home. The result is a romantic-monster-Latin-twist Flash short.
