Morana

The year is 37 BC. A young Liburnian Volsus is taken by a Roman unit to help in what at first seems a simple task of collecting taxes, but the encounters with local Illyrian tribes soon lead to unexpected turns of events, as they show more resilience to subjugation than meets the eye. We see their archaic, emotional world of quaint and brutal laws and traditions through the eyes of this youngster, regarded by the Romans as a primitive barbarian, and gradually come to understand that their world is not all that different from our own.

When a tramp asks him some money, a cat has to struggle with his many internal consciences to come up with a decision.

Are we truly free? Are our desires truly our own or merely imposed products of the society we live in? The question this film is asking is this: are we slaves to the culture and society we were born in or is there a way to escape after all?

A boy wakes up in the unknown place and starts searching for his home. When he finally finds it, the things are not as they seem to be.

The Arcadian atmosphere of a hazy underworld hosts unusual characters: an Illusionist, a Civil Entity, a Wooden Puppet and a silent, but dangerous Swordsman. Their mysterious and bizarre experiences are an allegory of the relationship between the now extinct tradition of European combat swordsmanship and the doctrine of pragmatic political action. Is the end of the allegory also a beginning of an instructive misunderstanding?

Jerky but smiling characters from this short film will take the audience through this animated pageant inspired by a book by Thomas Hobbes called 'The Leviathan', written in 1651.

A video on the edge between sci-fi, video clip and narration which is suggests tension of story and events, while at the same time real dramaturgy is neglected, and the plot line is followed by rhythmic music in real and electronically generated areas, accompanied by actors, maquettes, puppets and models.
