Why we chose it

Charlie Kaufman's long-lost screenplay, left forgotten in a drawer for years, finally found its way to the screen through a successful Kickstarter campaign, transformed into a breathtaking stop-motion masterpiece and one of the most profoundly existential animated films ever made.

Synopsis

A celebrated self-help author, trapped in a life of crushing routine and emotional isolation, sees everything change when he meets a vibrant, extraordinary woman. Their unexpected encounter rekindles his longing for genuine human connection and pulls him out of the emotional paralysis that has consumed him. For the first time in years, life seems to regain its colour and meaning.
