Bristles Do brushes have feelings? They do in this funny, colourful animation. Three brushes have a nice life together in a glass jar, longing for the day that they will be used to paint. When one of the three is chosen, it feels like it hit the jackpot until it accidentally ends up on the floor. And what happens to a brush that has been dipped in paint, but then forgotten? The unlucky victim tries any means of trying to get its once beautiful, soft hair back to its original state, but only succeeds in making things worse. Ultimately, there seems to be no salvation, but then his friends come to his aid.
Howling Ultra-short, captivating animation about a wounded wolf dragging itself along through the forest and over the tundra at night. Limping and breathing hard, he intuitively follows the path up towards the full moon. On his way he spies a herd of buffalo and his memory takes him back to earlier that day, when he was still the uncontested leader of the pack and hunted the buffalos. However, he was fatally wounded trying to protect his female from an angry male buffalo.
A film about weird brushes, but also about vanity, envy, compassion, and empathy.
He has to make this journey to his end alone, that is the law of nature. He has resigned himself to his fate and his howling at the moon speaks of the cycle of life and the sacrifices he made for the pack.
