Shorts Animation Competition 5.

Are all the good men gone? Have all of them turned to the dark side? Or is it just the few we keep hearing and tweeting about so much these days? It seems – in animation at least – men are still the sensitive counterparts we know from literature. They're full of uncertainty, shame and pressured into a concept of masculinity. Teenage boys dominated by a strong mother figure are expected way too early to be blood-thirsty hunters fighting their fears, while grown men lose their minds over love, work, hair loss and life in general. After all, on the final day, we're all equal.
