Writing
Days Off is a short film, an homage to the puppet and city. By combining puppet animation and live action it builds a certain strange kind of reality, a reality that is based in the real world. It is an audiovisual testimony using the language of surrealism, satire, parody, irony and gallows humor, a dark mirror reflecting today’s world.
Young geek city boy Martin has to overcome himself and stay two weeks in the summer camp without his comforts and any technology. Here he will be challenged to help the forest creatures to save their forest from being destroyed by greedy developers.
