The good folks at Gobelins recently released their last batch of student shorts, and this one really stood out to me. Partially, I'm sure, because it deals with the bittersweetness of growing old (and I just can't seem to get enough of that stuff). But mostly, it's because I love the way it made such excellent use of its distinctive medium to portray the creeping danger its aging protagonist must face.
