The Path

drama · Short Films · english

The short narrative opens with a monochromatic palette constituted by animation. As the figure moves across the screen, another voice makes himself known, and we are introduced to a conversation between the two of them. While the former remains wary of the stranger who has just joined him on his journey to a destination unknown to the viewer so far, the latter pushes aside his doubts to present him with questions instead. The exchange wants to invoke a conversation around philosophy, existence, life and what the protagonist perhaps truly desires from it.

At the end of it all awaits a single frame that ties it all together, offering the audience, in the process, an attempt, albeit with a few rough edges, at storytelling combined with animation, philosophy and the desire to make meaning of existence.
