Blooming Brain

Poland2022animated10'Konkurs polski (2022)

You are sitting on a train, your thoughts are running away somewhere. You have the impression that your head is falling off and your hand is no longer in its place. Have the other passengers noticed this? Relax, it is only happening in your head... By means of the protagonist’s surreal visions and disturbing music, the animation shows what a person suffering from multiple sclerosis can feel. In "Blooming Brain" the disease takes the form of a lush plant, becoming something difficult to tame but at the same time beautiful and fascinating. An important voice in the context of raising awareness about diseases that hardly come into the foreground.
