HUMAN LAYERS

Such a cute and relatable short! Just like me—one person at work, another one at home. I laughed but also reflected a bit.

Sweet, relatable, funny, and ironic. It leaves you with a feeling of lightness and tenderness.

I appreciated how the visual style reinforces the concept of social masks and roles. The minimalistic graphics strip everything down to the essence: roles in society, authenticity in solitude. It felt like Brechtian theater in animation form.

This film cleverly illustrates how we force ourselves into social boxes. It’s not just about a couple’s routine—it’s a metaphor for societal pressure on individuality.

I didn’t expect to be touched so deeply by such a simple story. That moment when they sit together on the couch with cocoa... so heartwarming!

There’s a touch of absurdity in “Human Layers”—especially when the characters express themselves so oddly in solitude. It feels almost like visual poetry.

The animation is simple yet expressive. Emotions are clearly communicated through subtle movements and gazes. The style reminded me of European indie comics.

The film hooked me with its visuals: the old man drinking from the mug—brilliant! Comedy lives in the little moments, and that’s what makes this short feel alive.
