Snowy
USA2020documentary12'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2021)
Snowy is a turtle. Snowy is a pet and not a particularly mobile member of the family. Snowy lives in the cellar and has a solitary lifestyle. Can Snowy be happy? Numerous people, more or less close to the turtle, express their opinions on Snowy’s wellbeing. Kaitlyn Schwalje and Alex Wolf Lewis’s documentary is a humorous variation on a biographical film and, at the same time, an attempt to perceive the animal and its needs as a subject – even if it requires looking for fat earthworms in the soil.
