A short movie that juxtaposes a groundbreaking achievement in human history with something seemingly trivial, but with a suggestively much deeper impact on mankind (literally). The fast-paced storytelling and beautiful visual identity, inspired by the golden days of the silver screen effortlessly paint a satirical, bittersweet picture of how the world of the mighty actually functions. It ridicules the mediocrity and delusion of grandeur that have plagued humanity probably since the beginning of time, somehow dealing the good cards to the bad people. The characters and dialogues are well-written and beautifully delivered at a dynamic and fun pace, backed by the upbeat soundtrack.

A small masterpiece with not a single insignificant detail, bringing back the essence of what movies used to be, and hopefully what they should return to.
