Asbestos

Spain2020fiction18'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2021)

A surreal and poetic story about a couple that finds a hedgehog costume covered with asbestos at a scrapyard. The odd outfit, as if from Lenny Abrahamson’s Frank or Richard Kelly’s Donnie Darko, ’introduces an element of a puzzle to their world. It provokes and observes the protagonists and the world immersed in pandemic loneliness. This unambiguous picture, open to interpretations, with a disturbing and fascinating climate, surprising confrontations, is led not only by the enigmatic mask but also Vivaldi’s music.
