Synopsis:

This short animation presents a whimsical and subtly melancholic narrative centered around a gorilla navigating an urban environment. The film follows its journey through everyday scenes – bustling city streets, quiet parks, and familiar domestic settings – rendered with a distinctive visual style. The gorilla’s presence evokes a sense of gentle displacement, prompting reflection on themes of isolation and belonging within a world designed for other creatures. A simple yet engaging story unfolds, driven by the creature's interactions and observations. The animation utilizes a warm color palette and understated pacing to create an atmosphere that is both comforting and slightly wistful, offering a quiet contemplation on the nature of existence and connection.
