Shorts Attack in September 2024

8 films in 90 minutes – with German subtitles

Welcome to snails in the urban, to fast car rides, to trails and a jelly in a sea of houses. From Kiev at dawn, we head for an ice cream in a small Polish town, then to a snack bar in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and finally to the Congo, where an alien warns the townspeople. The cutest spider in the history of animation survives the road crossing and turns out to be addicted to the moon.
