Under the Rib Cage

France, Belgium2018animated13'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2019)

“I've been spitting blood, is it cancer?” – when you are diagnosed by an Internet browser, then it is difficult to trust a doctor saying it is just stress. Obsessive thinking about diseases paralyses the protagonist, he sees bacteria everywhere and materialized fear of death has practically moved into his house. Hypochondria, neurosis and other mental health issues are shown with slight detachment and humour. A journey into the human body during which fluorescent internal organs pulsate in slow motion to electronic sounds.
