It's more example of the new animated film made by the Portuguese who conquered the world.
Independent features are almost a redundant term to characterize the new Portuguese cinema. They win international awards. They drive viewers to the cinema. They tell stories. The animation in this context is a different universe. It is ignored. It is seen as a minor art and as such has even less support. But it also enlists international praises. It also delights audiences as "the tragic story with a happy ending" by Regina Pessoa. It is the second short film of this young filmmaker who is the most awarded of Portuguese cinema. It is a different animation, who desires, which is different and stand out from the crowd, unlike the main character. So, I will not disclose no more. I leave the rest up to you. What I can say is that yes Regina Pessoa, is a director like no other. She grew up outlining inanimate tales with coal, in a somewhere village in the interior of Coimbra. She studied art and graduated in painting, a pictorial universe is reflected in his cinematic vision of the world. Her odyssey of images is in black and white, don't take it to hard, our dreams are populated with these two-tones in this narrative and the color is in the essence of these sensitive and emotional work dynamics that moves us to the depths of our existence . Good movie!
