In a lonely little house, tucked between an endless forest and a mighty ocean cliff, lives a woodcutter with his little son. Their life goes on as in a fairy tale - after work, the father prepares wooden toys, they walk and play together. The son infinitely loves his father, is fascinated by his strength and care.

“This movie is a representation of my spirit’s volatile state. I used animation with poetic comment to analyze my emotions and vexations. I used pencil drawings in translucent frames to show a state of lightness. On the drawings you can see the elements taken from imagination and from real external sights. I did so because our mental states are built from what we can see and what we remember or imagine in abstraction.”—Wojciech Bakowski
