Synopsis
Animated short film that has garnered recognition for its poignant portrayal of urban solitude. The film follows Juan, a solitary young man with a unique perspective on the chaotic city around him, as he embarks on a journey to find Ana, only to discover that his quest is more about self-realisation than about her.
