Animated short film

Outline

Two people on the street try to sidestep around each other. A man runs for an elevator and gets in, but his stomach makes a growling sound. A woman runs into someone wearing the same dress at a red-carpet event. With vivid colors and a humorous touch, the work depicts such “awkward” moments in everyday life to which many people can relate. In the final scene, all the characters are gathered at a birthday party.
