Plots(1)

A classic horror short story by Edgar Allan Poe performed through animation in real settings. It tells us about a cursed noble house that sinks into moors to expunge the guilt of the family who lived there. The film use of the animation of stones, walls, trees, furniture and other objects is a unique example of tactile art in animation. (official distributor synopsis)
