This is a story about creative and sensitive people. Their feelings get hurt (unrequited love, misunderstanding and loneliness) and they all end up in a metaphorical place (hospital ward) where they meet each other, talk and recover. The boy finds the girl he once felt in love with, the poet is now understood and admired and the girl is not lonely anymore. There is also a fourth character, he is a smoking silhouette, he has no feelings and he can only feel physical pain, it seems like he's living in a completely different world, he has no spirituality in him

DYNAMICS (Frozen Movements) is an experimental, dreamy and surreal stop-motion film, created using everyday materials. The film offers a visual reflection on transformations that emerge through the intuitive blending of dissimilar elements. The result is a non-narrative art film where fantasy, form and texture merge into a sensory experience.

This short animation invites viewers to surrender to a world where logic gives way to atmosphere and intuition. The hypnotic soundscape enhances the avant-garde character of the film and leaves plenty of room for personal interpretation.

Two entrepreneurial hens launch their own line of artisanal eggs labeled "Hens-Made". From their rustic wooden stand, they film promotional videos and attract cheerful tourists who flock in, snapping photos and lining up to buy. But success has short legs: the Easter Bunny suddenly appears, importing mass-produced colorful eggs from China, packaged with slick marketing. The competition turns fierce and ridiculous. In this animated satire, the handmade dream cracks under the weight of global capitalism… and not everyone makes it out with their yolk intact.

Maria and Waldemar Nowak, a couple of officers from the Office for Foreigners, come with an unannounced visit to Lilianna and Édouard to examine whether their marriage is real or fake,

serving only for the legalization of stay of Édouard, who is Algerian. The decision to grant the residence card to Édouard depends on the course of the visit.

The visit tests relationships in both marriages, walks on a very thin line of the borders and ethics of officers’ examination, and explores the shades of racism.
