A presentday rehash of the legend of Narcissus, or the risks you run when you gaze at your reflection in a stream for too long... Water, it's time to reflect, is based on a simple idea with immediate impact springing from the initiatives of 2003, world water year, and shows how the current water situation is becoming increasingly more critical and in need of urgent measures, while still leaving a glimmer of hope for the future.

Director's Notes
«An animated 'short' to make people even more aware of the great value and the vulnerability of a resource like water, but also to make us consider man's responsibility with respect to this resource. Last March the Region of Tuscany in fact took this work to Kyoto in Japan to take part in the World Forum on water».
