One of Them

Early in the morning in the square of a small Swiss village, preparations are underway for a big celebration. Volunteers are busy getting everything ready... and the first musicians are arriving.

Eight-year-old Émile is enjoying the last of the warm summer evenings with his sister Françoise. While they are eagerly scanning the night sky for shooting stars, they are suddenly interrupted by a despicably cruel act.

Ratgirl, a diffident 19 year-old woman, as she and her older roommate Alice discover their apartment is infested with rats — a claim which is adamantly ignored by their miserly landlord. Over the course of a hellish fourty-eight hours, Ratgirl unconfidently navigates sexual harassment, housing instability, ex-friendships, and suppressed mental illness.

A musical directly animated on film where the leitmotiv is the circle and its variations.
