A bitter sense of irony permeates this short from beginning to end:
The plot is absolutely depressing, but the story is depicted through a bright, childish aesthetic, and narrated with a very gentle tone, akin to a fairy-tale despite all the horrible things happening to the protagonist and the incredibly pessimistic thoughts crossing her mind.
In less than ten minutes, the plot of this short somehow manages to be much bleaker than the one from the Joker film, despite the seemingly cute visuals.
Such juxtaposition worked surprisingly well here, without feeling forced or try-hard in any moment, coming up instead as a sincere tale of modern alienation in the increasingly hopeless world where we live.
