Riho Unt

EE, 2024, 9 Min

In the dreary everyday existence of a porcelain factory, Mary and Paul dream of a better life and bond over the words and images on the cups. And yet ceramics not only enables them to plan their futures, but also to engage in impassioned arguments. A touching animation about dreams on the assembly line and the mess that words can leave behind.
