BLACK VOLGA
POLISH TITLE: CZARNA WOŁGA
During the black and white days a group of neighbours share a conversation that leads to the answer of a dreadful mystery. What happened to the missing child. The conversation grows out of control and the world around the characters is constantly evolving. The story grows and becomes more and more surreal and ridiculous with every passing second. This animation explores the human need to gossip while satirising our reliance on stereotypes that surround us everywhere.
