Poland2025animated9'National competition
A long-haired red knight sets off into the depths of a mysterious labyrinth; he is certain of yet another triumph. Yet with every step, he loses sight of the purpose of his mission. Entangled in absurd, brutal rivalry, he ignores both the real threat and himself. To save what remains of him, he must abandon everything that has defined him until now. A disturbing animation in the style of a computer game, in which an existential crisis of masculinity proves more dangerous than dungeon-dwelling monsters and the obstacles encountered along the way.
