Vasco

2010 · 11 min

A dreamlike, hand-drawn descent into longing and loss, quiet and disorienting, asking you to drift with it rather than follow.

Directed by: Sébastien Laudenbach
Genres: Animation, Drama
Starring: Mathilde Braure, Elina Löwensohn, Thomas Rouer

Overview: You have gone, Vasco, you wanted to go far away. But we kept you back, with concrete and kisses, and you tasted the blood of whales. But it was not enough, you wanted to go further, towards the horizon that fascinated you so much. But how far will you go, Vasco?
