Three Birds
Slovenia, Croatia2024animated8'International Short Competition
A girl visits a bird-woman to ask her how to deal with the problems bothering her. The strange older lady sends her on a journey inside herself, in which she is accompanied by three birds. Walking through a dark forest and murky reeds, entering a mysterious lake, the character experiences pain, fright and fear. Her anxiety and suffering are almost incapacitating as they touch every cell in her body. This animation in the style of magic realism arouses hope that each, even the hardest, situation may bring something new.
