«Kromkhel’s Journey to the Seventh Heaven»
Animated movie by Lera Nibiru, 60 min
Music by Nick Sudnick
The tale describes birth and passing through the layers of seven mythical heavens of the character named Kromkhel, which is trying to understand, who is he, where he appears and what is his mission. Realizing himself as unaccounted, spare god, Kromkhel is dissolving in light, having reached the point of highest bliss.
