Croatia2019animated12'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2019)
The protagonist practices taxidermy. She treats her specimens with respect and tenderness and then takes stuffed animals back to the forest. Beforehand she removes films from their heads; developed photos allow her to see the world through the animals' eyes. Finally, she wants to become part of the nature herself... A puppet animation permeated with an eerie atmosphere of dark tales and horrors telling a story from the space between sleep and reality.
