GREY SOLAR GAME:
The circumstances for the lives of orphans, and particularly those of minorities, have always been rather dire, but the pandemic seems to have ended even their slightest hope to survive. Seemonta Halder presents this message in his 18-minute short, through a subtle but also pointed and quite pragmatic fashion.
THE HORSE FROM HEAVEN:
Kuxhol is travelling to the city with Goti, the horse from heaven and the fastest in the world. Kuxhol tells the amazing story about their adventures to everyone he meets on his way. Everyone finds it bizarre in the beginning as they can see that Goti is not a horse, but a donkey. Well, eventually his audience starts believing in his tale and the Heaven's Horse.
