A little boy decides to follow his father from their farm into the city, moving through the various levels of human labor required to sustain the capitalist dystopia.
This animated film is wordless except for nonsense sounds. Everything is carried through the visual and ambient. If that is your bag, you will probably fall head over heels for it. I kept falling asleep. That's not the movie's fault, though. It just didn't connect with me, though I did appreciate the entire life cycle of the textile industry. The animation is intentionally like a child's drawing interspersed with kaleidoscopic fractals moving in and out. It was very pretty, from a purely aesthetic view. I just didn't feel anything.
If you're feeling nostalgic, meditative, and also anti-Fast Fashion, give it a shot. It's currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
