Spines by María Álvarez and Elisa Morais

Spines is an experimental animated short film. Constructed as a dream, the film mixes real dream details with fictional scenarios. Visually, it is a combination of traditional and digital techniques, including drawings, cut-outs, 2D, stop-motion, and projections…

This time the dream was about to make sense…
A reluctant hedgehog on a quest for a puzzle that can’t be solved.
