Great allegory on how we really treat some people. It is not completely original, you can see this elsewhere, but in this rather depressive and quiet performance, it is still unique and good. It leaves you with the belief that you could occasionally act a little differently. (11.09.2014)

This animated short reminded me of the works of the established Czech trio Doubrava-Macourek-Born. It bears all the characteristic features of their creations, namely the art of abbreviation, originality, wit, and black humor. It tells the story of a society where people are used as objects and substitutes for technology in everyday life. A man turns into a doormat, another into a side table, and another into a chair. Then their roles are exchanged, and someone else serves them. Overall impression: 90%. (13.05.2010)
