Cosmos
Poland2016animated2'
Cosmos is an animated film about a woman who desperately needs the other human being, especially his touch. Individual body parts come to the fore, muscles, skin and hair, telling us about their longing for physical love. Parts of the human body, made of Plasticine and slowly put together, can be associated with Darkness Light Darkness by Jan Švankmajer, especially because the animation is full of humour. Will a crowned frog turn out to be a prince from a fairytale?
