Why Don't You Touch Me?

Best Short Animation Eliška Oz Czech Republic, Animation, Czech, 00:06:17

Inventively crafted and emotionally compelling, the short film by Eliska Oz explores the dilemma of a young woman trying to reconcile her identity as both a creator and a mother. As the protagonist struggles to find a balance between maternal instincts and her passion for creation, her world slowly crumbles, much like a clay sculpture gradually falling apart in her hands.
