Chill Out

Zocha is convinced that everyone around her is doing better in life than she is. Focused on her own failures and frustrations, she loses sensitivity to the emotions of others. After many doubts, she decides to attend a student party, which instead of offering a moment of relief turns into chaos. Conversations with friends and confrontation with their successes lead to an emotional outburst, forcing Zocha to face her own inner demons. The film combines a variety of animation techniques – digital and traditional hand-drawn animation, sand animation, and cut-out animation – with live-action footage that reflects the protagonist’s inner state.
