Some things are best kept secret and should stay hidden forever. A chalk animation based on one of Ambrose Bierce’s short stories. A darkly-humorous thriller drawn with white chalk, telling the contemporary version of a timeless tale of greed and obsession to a modern audience.
Vannak dolgok, amelyek jobb ha sosem derülnek ki és örökre titok marad. krétaanimációs film, Ambrose Bierce novellája alapján. A krétával rajzolt thriller sötét humorral meséli el a kapzsiság és nyereség utáni vágy örökös történetét, aktualizálva jelen társadalmunkra is. Egyszerre abszurd és egyszerre félelmetes, kis bizsergés gyomorban, a kitörő nevetésen áterezett szorongás.
