Raven mother is an animated ballad, inspired by stories of the times when fates of men were binded with the ones of the other beings. Man and Woman are carrying burden in a form of their marked son – baby with the raven peak and claws. Fighting with forces stronger than them they are trying to accept their fate, but the omen of death is in the air. There is one thing clear – what is meant to happen will happen. Raven mother is set in times, when people believed in the evil, because they knew the good didn’t need their worship. They knew that world around them has its dark side… just as the men’s soul.

Raven mother is an animated ballad, inspired by stories of the times when fates of men were binded with the ones of the other beings. I want to tell story about Man and Woman are carrying burden in a form of their marked son – baby with the raven peak and claws. Fighting with forces stronger than them they are trying to accept their fate, but the omen of death is in the air. There is one thing clear – what is meant to happen will happen. Raven mother is set in times, when people believed in the evil, because they knew the good didn’t need their worship. They knew that world around them has its dark side… just as the men’s soul.
