Codex

Poland2024animated12'National Competition

A woman who lives inside the glass Rubik’s Cube makes sure that everything is organised, clean and symmetrical there. One day, inadvertently, she hurts her foot and chaos starts to force its way into her orderly life. The walls of the cube move to form out of corridors a new, unknown labyrinth. The struggle between what can be under control and what is untamed begins. Simple, geometric lines clash with free, streamlined shapes; a black line is becoming filled with colors and objects are being covered by untamed vegetation. In this surreal animation on the borderline between reality and a dream, two parallel worlds - strict rules and a tad of madness - are fighting with each other.
