A short film created by Tess Tallula & Sam Hall
Directed by Gemma Worrall
A love letter to childhood, When We Were Little at the Bottom of the Garden is a collaboration with and celebration of the ever-changing British seasons. Time bleeds together and overlaps, as we follow Tess and Sam traversing grassy fields and sun-speckled forests, burdened by the murky jar they carry together.
Floating on lily pads, chaperoned by carp, they drift through a world where big and small dissolve. Washed by river water and cleansed by campfire, they move through twilight fields and mazes of silk, beckoned ever forward by rare fruits, flower portals, and pastel puddles. At the edge of the sea, under a sky wide with possibility, they shed the weight of the past, their burdens dissolving like paint in water.
When We Were Little is a tender ode to memory, survival, and the quiet magic woven into the world around us.
