Director/Screenwriter: David Alapont, Luis Briceno | Producer: Jérémy Rochigneux | Cinematographer: Martin de Chabaneix | Music: Martin Gretschmann | Editing: Florence Jacquet
The monotonous daily routine in a world, where the human being as an individual person has completely vanished and merely exists as a functional part of a seemingly perfect entirety, is unmasked by an unexpected discovery – not to the advantage of the main character, who will soon be chased away. The use of motion tracking renders the dystopic animation by Alapont and Briceno particularly impressive.
