Rain

Poland2018animated5'Konkurs polski (2019)

It would have been an ordinary day in the life of the corporation employees if not for the man who suddenly started falling from the roof of the tall office building. His flight across the consecutive stories of the building stirs many emotions: some employees are curiously gazing from behind glass panes, others are running outside. One of them tries to save the man using his superpower. Narrated with sarcasm and visual minimalism, “Rain” is a metaphor for blind adherence to group thinking and an individual’s struggle with an unquestioning community.
