From Hilde, With Love + Kate Bush Short Film

Accompanied by the short film Little Shrew (Snowflake) directed by Kate Bush for War Child in 2024. With striking black-and-white animation, Kate Bush's Little Shrew tells the story of a small Eurasian pygmy shrew, moving through a war-torn landscape that echoes today’s Ukraine. Accompanied by a new version of her song ‘Snowflake', this tiny, vulnerable creature's search for 'HOPE' speaks to the voicelessness of children in wartime: often overlooked, defenceless, and exposed to violence. Berlin, 1942. A shy Hilde falls in love with Hans and gradually finds her place in the resistance group that would come to be known as the “Red Orchestra”. Together, they spend a beautiful summer where their relationship entwines with quiet acts of defiance. But when the Gestapo arrests members of the group, Hilde and Hans are among their numbers and must find the strength to confront their situation. Inspired by an incredible true story set against the backdrop of a country torn by conflict, FROM HILDE, WITH LOVE is a powerful tale of love and resistance.
