PLAZER BAT

Sonia Estévez / Tik Tak Film Studio
Koop. Elk. Txikia de Iniciativa Social

Format: Short film
Technique: Stop Motion

We see a rhythmic succession of actions, situations and objects that provide different types of pleasure, all of them simple, so much so that it could be said that they are almost insignificant. The reasons why each of them is pleasant are different. The order of appearance, the relative position and the rhythm in which they follow one another tries to explore the very nature of those pleasures. These are appearances of pleasure, but in all of them, negatively or transversely, there is a reference to pain or, in some cases, simply an echo or a place for it.
