A great example of a really intriguing premise that could only be a short film, and that's okay. After all, that's what makes short films fun. This is a little sad, beautifully animated, and if the premise sounds good to you then it's likely you will enjoy it too because it lives or dies on that.

Interesting "mixed media" approach to animation, but I'm getting tired of people basing short films on premises that are so slight, they don't even justify a 13-minute running time.

The animation style is a conglomeration of multiple styles, and it works beautifully for this strange and sad little film.

A fascinating premise gorgeously animated. One of the most moving portrayals of disconnectedness and isolation that I've seen.

Fairly well-done short about the feeling of being dislocated, or of being disconnected from oneself or one's surroundings. Perhaps the conclusion is a little abrupt, and makes the premise seem less interesting than it had hitherto.

Cute little film with a funny premise. Works well for a short although even then the idea gets a little old. Why aren't his clothes 92 cm from his body?

Great concept beautifully developed in this CGI animation that is rich in texture and detail. Story is funny, but at the same time it makes you feel uneasy - feeling of dislocation and isolation isn't exotic for many of us. Very strong short film, that should be noticed.
