Synopsis

Our take

In this surreal and unexpectedly funny look at body image, Yelyzaveta Pysmak adopts jagged, fluctuating lines and comically exaggerated fantasy elements to capture the delirious distortions of dysmorphia. A tongue-in-cheek animation that doesn’t buckle under the weight of society’s expectations.
