Frightening!

Fri, 04. 3., 22:15Sat, 05. 3., 19:00

Duration: 78 minutes

In abstract and quite specific ways animation gives us the shivers! Protagonists, whose reality hardly differs from hallucination, pave the path of this program: possessive carbuncles, nuclear threat, a voyeur, whose gaze drifts into inspection, a charming mischief maker, teeth (!) and service providers with a proclivity for fantasies of violence make one’s hair stand on end and let the blood rushing through the vains. Welcome to the wellness area of horror!
