Canada2018animated8'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2019)
An unexpected return of her husband, who is a pilot, makes the protagonist happy. Her happiness quickly disappears when it turns out that the man's face has transformed into an airplane turbine. The woman has to compete for her husband's affection with... a fan. A funny, absurd and moving animation about long-term relationships, searching for new experiences and sacrifice for love. Surreal retro drawings show a concept of the world in which people are closer to machines.
