Kirpianuscus

In the first moments, grace scenes, easy to be tempted define it as version of The Old Man and the Sea. And this image is consolidated by the final.

But it is the portrait of a legacy and try, familiar for many boys, later men, to answer to the father expectations about them. This makes the film by Enea Colombi just great one - the need , intense, to exprim the love , to be validated by old man. In short, admirable gem.

The main virtue of this short animation is the fine feeling than it is a storz about zourself. Sure, with touch of a Carlo Castaneda and some David Lynch/ Alfred Hitchcock.

The second good point is the definition of answer ( s) defining good part of our life.

Not last, the drawings and the nice cliches and the drops of fairy tale.

All working in more than correct manner.

I admired the fair dose of realism of start point. And the fair dose of humor. And the performances. Sure, not exactly original idea, but obvious a nice one, proposing a romance with some drops of spice and a storz about consequences of a gift.

The try to propose something little different makes this film - the recipe is so familiar - pretty different.
