Allegro Non Troppo (1976) Jean Sibelius’s Valse triste Op. 44, No. 1,

Jean Sibelius’s Valse triste: a solitary cat wanders in the ruins of a large house. The cat remembers the life that used to fill the house when it was occupied. Eventually all of these images fade away, as does the cat, just before the ruins are demolished. The film’s saddest piece, in which a small cat is left in a destroyed house, remembering the good times spent there only to have reality come crashing upon it.
