Narrative in Sound and Motion: a more interesting interface?

In my previous sketches the interface was very standard; the view of the garden from the kitchen window, or looking out from inside the shed. The design below is more intriguing in that it's not obvious. It uses metaphor. It's all about kind words and the mercy of a friend that overcomes harshness and hostile conditions. If the heart is nurtured and loved, it will excel and grow healthy.

The video, narration, music and sound effects are all controlled on the left hand side of the interface. The videos themselves would play where the heart is. The background will be sky and earth (top left), not wallpaper as in the others, that seems a little too abstract.
