Pullover

animated short, 2021, 6 min

Who would have thought? A little red jumper is finally chosen by its owner to keep him warm during the autumn months in Berlin. But everything goes horribly wrong, and somehow our protagonist finds himself in the wardrobe of a dark and gloomy second-hand shop. What now? "Pullover" tells a light-hearted story about jealousness, coffestains and the big role of small coincidences.

About


My little short film "Pullover" tells a story about jealousy from a very unusual perspective. I wanted to follow an unimpressive character, often overlooked, and give him his own thoughts and emotions. That's why I chose a discarded pullover. To tell this story in Berlin, I moved to the city and made the film entirely on my own. What an adventure!
