Nightmare

1976 · 10 min · Animation

An alienated and lonely man goes to take a rest and dreams about the same torment and feeling of inability to bear the burdens of life that torment him even when he is awake. He dreams of his ups and downs, as well as fears which turned into symbols that also came from the rigid everyday reality.
