If Only ...

Name: If Only ...
Duration: 8 min

Marc Aubry

1986 | 8 min

Two drinking buddies sit in a beer-induced stupor, idly dreaming of a tropical paradise. Ironically, that paradise is just outside their dilapidated shack. This computer-animated film shows that our inability to fully enjoy our environment often stems from our attitudes towards life. Film without words.
