The Other

Poland2018animated5'Konkurs polski (2018)

They say he is tall, has strong hands and long, agile fingers. They say he can grab a victim by the throat and hold him until the victim dies. No one knows him, but everyone is talking about him and the image of a monster man can be inferred from the whispers and gossip. Initial doubts turn into bitter accusations and tension is rising together with the approaching steps. Who is he in fact? An animated thriller about the spiral of hatred that winds up the fear of otherness.
