Counting Water is a fable about what happens when one person is forced to prove their love for another. Based loosely on a song from Philip Glass’ 1976 Opera, Einstein on the Beach, the animation asks the question: Can everything be broken down into pieces? And if so, can they be put back together? How many drops of water does the ocean really hold?
