Quantum Jump

Czech Republic2025animated10'Short film competition

In a secluded, luxurious villa inhabited by identical people, the protagonist serves a pair of twins, functioning within a seemingly stable order. After a breakthrough, the familiar world begins to crumble, and he himself crosses its boundaries. The reality is subject to disintegration, which reveals hidden mechanisms of control and meaning throughout this surreal journey through a symbolic orchard. The stylised 3D animation moves towards abstract forms, creating a disturbing world that cyclically falls apart.
