IN DEVELOPMENT

LOGLINE
Party is a playful, visually bold animated short for adult audiences, blending humor and surrealism. It explores the hidden quirks and guilty pleasures people conceal under the mask of normality, erupting into a colorful, chaotic celebration of true selves.

SYNOPSIS
Party is a short animated film that playfully and boldly blends humor with surrealism. The main character, Olina, receives an invitation to a party that at first seems perfectly ordinary. Gradually, however, it is revealed that the guests begin to shed their social masks, transforming into colorful clouds, nebulae, and bizarre shapes – uncovering their true passions, identities, and guilty pleasures. Through watercolor painting and 2D animation, the film highlights the contrast between neutral uniformity and the wild energy of our hidden inner worlds. The party becomes an allegory of liberation from social norms – a space where one can fearlessly reveal and celebrate their authentic self.
