A Most Exquisite Man

2021 · 14 min · Animation

There exists a most exquisite man, or at least the world that surrounds him labels and sees him as such. He has fantastic abilities, incomprehensible talent, he could even be called a genius, yet something within him is restless. Big questions utterly absorb him, leading him to a place where all he can do is surrender his life, in order to find that which gives him and the natural world undeniable purpose and concluding peace.
