This graduation work is an animated film based on a short story by Mihovil Rismondo, a colleague from the Academy of Dramatic Art. The theme is bullying, with an accent on the socio-psychological aspect. Set in school days, it is a story about boys who physically demonstrate their misunderstanding of someone who is different and take this behaviour to its limit. With the idea to create an original visuality, different techniques of material preparations have been used, as well as different animation techniques. In terms of genre, the film combines drama and horror, ending in a catharsis.

The too fast pace of life in polluted cities makes people sick. Neuroses are an everyday occurrence. Overcrowding, pollution and noise are enemies no. 1.

From a calm everyday person exposed to constant sound bombardment, a person becomes dangerous. He is able to tear down and destroy. But maybe it’s all just a fairy tale, because each of us carries everything that accumulates in us during our short human life.

Through the thick darkness of the tunnel faint monotonous walls vibrate. In the dark distance a ray of light suddenly blinked and a moment later a strong energy burst flies rapidly in front of camera and exists the frame. We enter into abstract and utterly unknown world. Sleepy, almost frosty landscape is echoed by a tower packed with spindle black silhouette rising in front of horizon. Ritual contractions and the buckling choreography of its body invokes white deity from the other realm to perform ritual of transmutation. With a purpose of re-establishing the initial state of profound stillness ritual comes to its end.
