International Short Film Contest 53 ED. 2025
Hungary 2024 15' Animation

A pedicurist in a small-town populated by human-animal hybrids, Paula the lonely centaur-girl longs to have human feet. When she meets Arnold the handsome crocodile-man, it is love at first sight. Both, however, are denying their true selves in an attempt to meet the other’s expectations, and their romantic idyll is soon shattered by conflict.
