Plot
This short animated fable stars witches, cloaked riders and other Gothic characters, in a tale about the hungry natural world. Here the artist plays cat's cradle with ideas, especially the notion that one thing leads to another and that lives lead from one to another.
Sinekatalog’s take
A short animated fable of witches, cloaked riders and a hungry natural world, playing with the idea that every life leads into another. It is dark, whimsical and clever with its chain-reaction logic. Good for fans of gothic and fable-like animation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
