« Sound design deepens that unease in ways that feel intentional rather than accidental. The score does not try to manipulate the audience; instead, it supports the visuals with quiet intensity. Layered soundscapes keep us tethered to the scenes even when the animation leans heavily into abstraction. The sparing use of music is smart, reinforcing moments of tension or reflection without making them melodramatic.
What sets this project apart is its embrace of form as function. The art style, sound, pacing, and structure reflect the subject matter. That cohesion between content and technique gives the film a sense of honesty—it may not always be easy to follow, but it never feels fake. Even when it wavers, there’s a sense that it’s in pursuit of something meaningful. »
