2 Makes 1is a stop-motion animation based on the core human emotions of love, betrayal, inspiration, and then, redemption. With a refined, minimal style, artist Kenji Hirata plays with the layers of understanding and the complexities that make up relationships between people in their everyday lives. The colorful characters are inspired by Hirata's real-life experiences as he is guided by the Buddhist belief that emptiness is everything eternal.
Soundtrack features the track "Triassic" by Cloud Peach.
