The Kite

Best Short Student Animation Martin Smatana Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Animation, 13'07''

The Kite deals with the issue of death, but it does so in a simple metaphorical and symbolic way using the relationship between the little boy and his grandpa. It explains that none of us are here forever and that all living creatures must die, but also shows that death doesn’t mean the end of our journey.
