This colorful animation tells the tale of a mythical universe whose existence is threatened by the arrival of unthinking and uncaring visitors. From Oscar®-nominated animator Ishu Patel comes a thought-provoking metaphor for our times: a cautionary tale with a pro-environmental theme.
"Remember: Take only what you must, and give something good in return."

00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:33.280
Of all the worlds
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:45.189
within worlds and beyond,
00:00:45.190 --> 00:00:49.740
there is one that is a
stepping stone to heaven.
00:00:50.050 --> 00:00:54.840
This is The land of
the divine gates.
00:01:13.330 --> 00:01:16.989
You leave your world behind,
00:01:16.990 --> 00:01:23.380
become what you dream in
the search for the divine.
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.009
I was dreaming.
00:01:26.010 --> 00:01:28.019
Of the sea.
00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:29.684
At rain.
00:01:29.685 --> 00:01:32.564
Out of broken rock.
00:01:32.565 --> 00:01:34.229
Every bone.
00:01:34.230 --> 00:01:36.389
Drop by drop.
00:01:36.390 --> 00:01:37.844
Transformed.
00:01:37.845 --> 00:01:39.764
I was born.
00:01:39.765 --> 00:01:43.570
I saw the great green tree.
00:01:43.670 --> 00:01:46.304
Felt it rise.
00:01:46.305 --> 00:01:48.944
Through my spine.
00:01:48.945 --> 00:01:56.945
The first breath,
the tree of life.
00:02:19.340 --> 00:02:22.499
The day the sea burned,
00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:25.554
its ashes shut the skies.
00:02:25.555 --> 00:02:32.940
I swam through all my hate
and fear to you, great star.
00:02:43.010 --> 00:02:47.549
The burning world is one red eye.
00:02:47.550 --> 00:02:54.730
There, I found a thousand
million facets in my mind.
00:02:59.150 --> 00:03:02.339
Inside the mirror of myself,
00:03:02.340 --> 00:03:06.449
I fell through glass,
00:03:06.450 --> 00:03:10.420
the break, break of life.
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:17.050
Sharp voice that held
my brittle skin.
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:22.874
I cried to you my mirror twin,
00:03:22.875 --> 00:03:30.820
and found in your embrace an
open door that took me in.
00:03:31.940 --> 00:03:35.534
Mirror, illuminate.
00:03:35.535 --> 00:03:40.810
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe.
00:03:44.990 --> 00:03:52.990
The greatest of
00:03:54.795 --> 00:03:58.629
all the divine gates
is the emerald gate.
00:03:58.630 --> 00:04:03.030
What you desire here
is always given.
00:04:03.160 --> 00:04:06.723
There is just one condition;
00:04:06.724 --> 00:04:09.334
take only what you need,
00:04:09.335 --> 00:04:12.870
and give something
good in return.
00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:43.564
You have arrived
before your time.
00:05:43.565 --> 00:05:45.630
Don\'t be afraid.
00:05:45.770 --> 00:05:48.850
You are welcome here.
00:05:54.130 --> 00:05:59.580
What is desired here
is always given.
00:06:03.410 --> 00:06:04.509
[inaudible]
00:06:04.510 --> 00:06:06.719
Take only what you need,
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.570
and give something
good in return.
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.934
You must leave this place.
00:09:33.935 --> 00:09:39.330
There is no coming
back. You must go.
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.994
Here, take this.
00:09:42.995 --> 00:09:46.849
It has everything
you need, and more.
00:09:46.850 --> 00:09:50.134
Remember, take only
what you must,
00:09:50.135 --> 00:09:53.520
and give something
good in return.
00:09:53.590 --> 00:09:57.630
This is your fate.
