Veterinarian

A poetic short animated film about a veterinarian whose work somewhat overwhelms him and affects his health. At the moment he is acutely threatened by a heart attack, his animal patients come to his aid. The film is characterized by a unique kind of humor, and among other things, the director doesn't hesitate to depict in detail all human and animal bodily fluids and excrements. A minimalist yet powerful film, representing the current level of Nordic animated filmmaking. Overall impression: 65%. (05/06/2009)
