Synopsis:
A boy’s view of a seemingly ordinary childhood reveals fear of home. Intense visuals and sound capture the bodily strain of constant alertness.
Comments:
I feel grateful to have the opportunity to create my own films, I wanted to dedicate the film to people who don’t and whose stories deserve to be heard. I wanted the animation to convey how they felt at home as children. The expressive nature of charcoal helped me emphasize the subjective perspective of the child protagonist. I wanted to capture the fear they encountered every day and their need to escape from a dysfunctional home during difficult moments – whether mentally or physically.
