Sinekatalog’s take
An old man dreams of his youth beside a crucifix, then liberates the tortured figure of Christ and transforms the world around him. This is a lyrical, dreamlike hand-drawn short. Recommended for those who like poetic animation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
