The Lily of Belgium Wladyslaw Starewicz (1915) Part 1/2

Original name: Lilya Belgii
This is one of Starewiczs really early films, when he was still in Russia. It was made during the First World War and it serves as an allegory to the situation.

IMDb summary: When a young girl finds a beautiful dead lily in the woods, she asks her grandfather to tell her about it. He tells her an allegory about the Lily of Belgium: The lily stands in splendor beside a stream, admired by the creatures of the woods. But an army of beetles, bent on conquering new territories, wants to cross the stream - and the lily is blocking their way.

Раньше даже жизнь длилась медленней, это по количеству действа видно.

Does anyone by chance know if this is the original audio? It goes with the video very nicely. If it isn't does anyone know the name of the piece? Amazing video!
