A vain and arrogant youth dares to enter Baba Yaga’s living house of bones. What emerges will forever fill our nights with terror.
In this autobiographical animated short, Elise Simard crafts the story of a young girl seeking self-discovery and rebirth. Drifting between real and imagined events, the film uses time-lapse photography with ink and pastels, creating a haunting, compassionate exploration of addiction and existence.
This animation proposes a slow, moist, feverish exploration of the oldest manifestation of affection. This film was made as part of the 7th edition of the NFB's Hothouse apprenticeship.
