Plots(1)

A man fills an empty room with his body, senses, his existence. But his existence is fragile and temporary and as he came at the darkness he leaves for the darkness. The film is remarkable for both its excellent animation of clay and real objects and the philosophical attitude to the question of human life. (official distributor synopsis)

English After Alice, I got my hands on this short film by Jan Švankmajer, in which man is created in a very unconventional and somewhat aggressive way. Again, as a viewer, I was impressed by the animation and the work with the material used to create the man. In short, very good filmmaking that impresses both in its execution and in its theme. ()
