One, two, three – let’s play hide-and-seek! What if you hid so well that no one would ever find you? One of the brothers comes up with such an idea during a hide-and-seek at home. Closed in a wardrobe, he has been observing the life of his family through a crack in the door for years. This depressing and claustrophobic animation depicts the problem of isolation, solitude or the disappearance of family ties. It also metaphorically shows modern relations maintained via social media, thanks to which we can see the events in the lives of our friends and families, but we cannot participate in them.
