From the Film Maker...

In the painting, one of the little girls is crying. I wonder whether it is because she wants an ice-cream or whether she has suddenly realized that she has lost her parents and everyone around her has disappeared? She looks around. She can see another planet with two aliens eating ice-cream. The girl hops through the universe onto the new planet.

She begs for ice-cream but the aliens reject and ignore her. Saddened, she screams which drives the aliens crazy. They panic and end up handing over the ice-cream. She gets excited and jumps back to her own planet. But when she lands, she drops her ice-cream and starts crying again.
