Ants in a Jar

Animation Short. Finalist Reggio Film Festival 2005.

This short animation tells the simple story of imprisoned ants. These ants, trapped in a glass jar, realize gradually that their end is near, and as the oxygen runs out, their hopeless attempts to escape lead to their death. These small creatures represent the thoughts and emotions which we all keep inside, without ever expressing them. In each and every one of us, a dark room filled with jars awaits its inevitable destiny...
