Letting Go
Estonia, Denmark2017animated11'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2018)
If you experienced something bad in your life, make a doll that will symbolise your traumas, put it into a boat and let it float away. This Japanese tradition inspired Ulö Pikkov to make a stop-motion animation in which dolls, enchanted in a hypnotic dance, are made of memories which can hurt like a nail. The dolls are made by Agnes, a girl from an orphanage, and the animation is both a documentary and a form of therapy. Will Agnes be able to get rid of her demons?
