Adolfo

2014 · 8 min

A quiet, dreamlike animated short that drifts slowly through a sunless village, feeling eerie and melancholy rather than eventful.

Tagline
His name is... Adolfo.
Overview
Far beyond the mountains of this and the next world lies Haunting Hamlet, a place the sun prefers to shun and where day and night merge into one. Here times move so slowly it almost stands still and most of the villagers have time to kill. But among them is a boy who has no time to spare. His name is... Adolfo.
