This Dark Thought

A well crafted short animation about anger, baby, a stain covering the sky , a young astromer as babysitter for her sister child, a dark message and giggling as end of high tension. Just a beautiful short film about familiar aspect for each babysitter/ parent.

The only observation - the shadow on the neck of astronomer, reminding a beard.

This animated short turned out to be much darker than I expected. It's left somewhat ambiguous whether the events we see are caused by the mysterious dark blob in the sky or by the protagonist's depression and sleep deprivation. Either way, the film carries certain echoes of blockbuster horror classics like The Shining-particularly in the scene where she writes the same words over and over. For some reason, both the visuals and the protagonist reminded me of some Scooby-Doo scenes and characters, perhaps because of the eerie atmosphere and nighttime settings.
