Storyline

What would happen if a 150.000-tonnes meteorite hit you? Sadly, this is precisely what has happened to the demure Henri Debrus, forcing himself to detach from his body at a specific and constant 91-centimetre distance apart. Undoubtedly, his predicament sounds improbable or even tragic and funny at the same time, nevertheless, let us see how would you cope with this complex day-to-day problem if your existence was mocked by every physical law. Just imagine it. It's not funny.

User Reviews

a man

I saw it as a parable. And, as a schizoid person, I love it very much. First- for animation itself. Second - for inspired story. And for beautiful atmosphere. And for its wise message. An asteroid and a man. Reduced at 91 centimeters of his life. Fighting against not ordinary situation. And defining his presence in brave manner. Nothing complicated, nothing unusual. Only demonstration of high craft.
