Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 1 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Polish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Meticulous and mesmerising paint-on-glass animation is characteristic for this atmospheric film by the Polish director, who takes us on a bus ride one Monday afternoon. The melancholic ride through a rainy city reminds the main protagonist what it would be like to escape the everyday routine of jammed streets.
