SUGAR LUMP

Animated short film

OKAWARA Ryo [Japan]

Outline

This tale of adolescence extracts a moment of a boy’s youth when he grows up between his home and outside. The animation, which resembles a series of graphic design images, is based on the artist’s own middle school days. The boy who continues to commit minor acts of delinquency cannot drink strong black coffee, but always brushes aside his mother’s hand when she proffers a lump of sugar.
