Almonds and Wine




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKiooqeMBJc

"Almonds and Wine" brings a Yiddish folk song to life, as the animated journey of a young bride and groom from Eastern Europe to North America is set to rollicking klezmer music. Fleeing the threat of war, the couple arrive in Canada, establish a new life together and hand down their traditions to the generations that follow. This film is set to a classic Yiddish folk song, "Di Mame iz Gegangen in Mark Arayn". Produced, directed and animated by Arnie Lipsey.
