- DirectorMatthew BranningBjoern RuehmannStarsNikolai KinskiA young man (Nikolai Kinski) sits trapped in a car surrounded by flames. Sulky and perplexed he waits and thinks, trying to understand how he ended up in this "hellhole." While blaming fate for his misfortunes, hope appears before his eyes: he has noticed a glimpse of beauty. The man's sleek white shoe enters the frame and shamelessly steps onto the ideal colour saturated lawn of a miniature planet. Flawlessly dressed, he travels around the fantasy land, encountering all he needs for sustenance: a sheep that gives milk, a tree for shade, a pond with fish, a butterfly for beauty. Nothing could be more perfect. In a state of complete joy, intoxication and self-absorption, the man circles around the planet, using and enjoying... and he leaves behind a never-ending trail of unwanted things. In an intelligent and self-critical way, Planet's story evolves from ironic to absurd to grotesque, as our temperamental hero is surprised each and every time that he encounters the ever-growing nastiness. With carefully designed images, masterful art direction and detailed animation, this environmental short film creates a humorous mirror to our own lack of perspective and ultimately our myopic vision.
