A more or less ordinary day, in which we enter into the intimacy of different characters and wander through a surreal urban landscape, from one scene to the next. Each moment of life leads to the next, connecting them cyclically. In an extraordinary fusion of surreal urbanity and everyday life, Belgian director Luna Filippini invites us to experience the intimacy of different characters. With subtle sarcasm, the film explores the absurdities of the modern world and questions our relationship to reality. This humorous and cynical short story, visualized in a stimulating 2D style inspired by Maria Medem's colors and Markiwiz' graphic design, has been particularly praised for its creative storytelling. HERVE'S CASE interweaves its characters' mundane routines with a depth and poetic undertone that captivates viewers. Particularly noteworthy are the creative details such as the reimagined movie posters and humorous commercials that convey a local connection and cultural relevance. The characters' use of colorful, monster-like masks symbolizes the layered roles that humans play in social life. At Anima 2024, the film received a special mention from the jury for its original depiction and successful combination of art and narrative. With this work, Luna Filippini, the director, proves that she is a powerful voice in the world of animation.
