You Won't Mind the Rampant Anthropomorphizing

Guys. I adored this short. I thought the topic sounded rather milquetoast but I gave it a shot because of the narrator and because I religiously watch everything in the Slamdance Department of Anarchy section.

But what I did not expect was to end up tears by the short's end. The point about separation across borders was not lost on me but I enjoyed the usage of cows as a cipher.

And who wouldn't love a Christopher Waltz narration - I mean c'mon.
