Arka

a strange film. long time after its end, this remains the impression. because it seems be a prediction. short, honest, almost cruel. about humankind. about choices.illusions. and about limits and, sure, about the personal answer to a challenge who seems be full of significations. "The Ark" could be discovered as warning. about a man and his refuge. about a hided danger. and, sure, about the right manner to escape. in same measure, it is a metaphor. precise like a diagnosis. simple like each prediction who has the virtue of seed of truth.

a man on a ship. his discover. his solution.and the end. a short movie about each of its viewers. like prediction of a fortune teller. because it is just a portrait. precise, almost cruel, honest. a gem by Grzegorz Jonkajtys who not surprise but represents a perfect occasion for reflection. the tool - splendid artistic work. the profound story. the role of metaphor. a film like a mirror, dark and clear, touching and wise, warning and basic definition for common case. a travel in yourself for eight minutes. must see it ! only for remember a word by Shakespeare and dimension of an almost invisible hole. a portrait. so precise than can be almost image from a mirror.

An unknown virus has destroyed almost the entire human population.

Oblivious to the true nature of the disease, the only remaining survivors escape to the sea on massive ships. In these ships, they set off in search of uninhabited land. The story focuses on one man as he struggles with his life and his new found knowledge of the voyage.

Ark was a fantastic short film, that delivered great animation, emotion and a overall fantastic story in only 8 minutes. With the spot-light on one man, you're immediately sucked into his frame of mind only to be shocked by the twist at the end.

For anyone who can relate to the realistic ending, it's an even more powerful moment. At 8 minutes long, there really isn't a reason not to check this film out if you get the chance. Perfect film-making.
