Rotkind is a short stop-motion animated film currently in making by three animation students; Anej Golčar, Tatevik Martirosyan and Eva Schets.
We follow a 60-year-old Harold, raised by his authoritarian mother who is trying to break free by finding his voice for the first time. And hiding a corpse in the meanwhile. Also committing social security fraud on the side.
Synopsis:
60-year-old Harold still lives with his elderly mother Hendrina. She has been an authoritarian mother who has always put her obsession with vases above her son. As a result, Harold still believes he depends on her and can’t live on his own. The figure of a revolting and disrespectful teenage neighbor awakens Harold’s desire to emancipate right before his mother passes away. Now, abruptly liberated Harold, steps upon a path of coming to terms with his independence, leaving behind Hendrina’s rules and money.
