Refugium is a experimental Skatevideo combining the Art of Skateboarding with Animation and Visual Effects. Skateboarding as an escape from everyday life, stress and fear into a „urban Neverland“ - a surrealist world where you can still be a child. But also a world of ambivalent feelings – not everything is always play and fun, but also hard work, despair and frustration.
In a cold cave, a recluse is determined to build a fire. Amidst frustration, a flame ignites, but a rather queer one: frozen, dubious. Human and fire will only find heat when they learn what they have in common.
