A large wooden tiger puppet is animated by three people dressed head to toe in black (such as you'd see in some Asian theater). It walks through the streets of a large city and as it passes strangely drawn people, they become bugs or animals. Soon, all of the residents are changed as the tiger mounts a hill overlooking the city. All this is done using the puppet, lots of computer generated animation as well as what looks like hand-drawn animation. All this is set to an infectious pulsing musical beat.This short film from Brazil is one of the strangest yet more intriguing films I have seen in some time. However, if you try to watch the film and demand a traditional narrative or even something that vaguely makes sense, then you will most likely hate this film. Instead, this is like a piece of art---one you simply look at and don't try to interpret or understand. And, as a work of art, this film is amazing--very, very different and very captivating.
