THE LAND OF WHIM
POLISH TITLE: KAPRYSIA
REPRESENTED BY KFF
The Land of Whim, the main character in the film, is a planet invented by the director. Animation is the image of a land ruling by a whim. Everything that exists on the planet is unobvious, chaotic, and changes its shapes and properties. Mutual penetration and transformation of forms, change of places of creatures and objects - these are words that can be used to describe the character of the film. Despite the apparent mess that prevails on the planet, it is a happy place - clear and pure colors prevail in it. The picture of the strange and fairy-tale reality created by the author is an explosion of joy and surrealism.
