Lara Maltz (Lara Maltz Animation)

Ashkasha is a living being guided by curiosity. This causes her to lose her head and get trapped in the depths, where she is submerged on a discovery journey.

Ashkasha je živo bitje, ki ga vodi radovednost. Zaradi tega izgubi glavo in se ujame v globine, kjer se potopi na pot odkrivanja.
