Uncle Thomas, Accounting for the Days

Portugal, Canada, France2019animated13'Short Matters! Krótkie filmy roku (2021)

This story is presented in the form of a letter written to the uncle of a young woman, a neurotic outsider obsessed with numbers. All the time the girl considers him fascinating, unique and trustworthy. Black and white images supplemented with a shade of red revive the past. Regina’s memories are a tribute to Tadeusz and an expression of her faith that you do not need to be ‘someone’ to become exceptional for someone else.
