Man Wanted

2020 | Animation, Puppet | Director: Irida Zhonga

The main character Stuart is not a perfect man as we all are. He can’t decide who or what dedicate his life to. Though, he has to make choices as all the temptations start surrounding him from all sides.

Stuart is a young man who enters a metro station full of posters and ads of beautiful men and women. Walking down the stairs, he gets immersed in a world he cannot control, and finds himself in a strange trajectory that leads to a chase in empty wagons, full of whispers and shadows in half-lit stations. He tries to get away from all the things that chase him and make him conform: the faces of people in the posters which come to life and haunt him, the framework that threatens to embody and immobilise him; a chase even from his own self.
