Watch Overture

This award-winning Hungarian short film considers the development of animal and human development in the womb as an overture to vital life. Bolstered by the music of Beethoven's Egmont overture, an array of interesting microbiological pictures illustrate the beginnings of life. From the first heartbeats of an embryo, to the emergence of a chick from its chrysalis shell, this is a powerful testament to young life not witnessed by the naked eye.
