A haunting portrayal of addiction
In this short film, the kiwi ingests a nugget and the flightless bird is lifted into the air for the first time. The twirls above the earth prove intoxicating, and the kiwi begins a pursuit of the nuggets to recreate that experience. Using simple line drawings and changes in background color, the German animator, Andreas Hykade, creates a visual metaphor for addiction that is gripping and surprisingly human.
