Shadow Animals

21 minutes / Directed by Jerry Carlsson

Marall follows her parents to a party and they want her to behave. As the evening progresses she finds the adult’s behaviour increasingly strange. Everyone at the party is trying to fit in, but not everyone succeeds. Marall also seems to be the only one seeing the shadow circulating inside the house.
