Plot
Short animation telling three stories - of a man at home, a boat at sea and a bird. All three are seen simultaneously via a split screen and occasionally coincide.
Sinekatalog’s take
An animated short with a split screen telling three stories of a man, a boat and a bird, which sometimes coincide. The formal trick is clever and the humour dry. Delightful for animation enthusiasts.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
