Dipendenza

short (12 mins, 2d animated, Hungary 2013)

Bubu is a huge, simple-minded, sturdy fellow who works at the fish market. He is slavishly in love with his colleague, the fragile but strong-minded Angela, a woman of ever-changing artistic ambitions. They live in harmony until one day a handsome stranger, Tulip appears. The story of a tragic love triangle in a bizarre, alienating, but also surreally charming world with a ballad-like terseness.
