The Spyglass

2022 · 10 min · Animation

Ten-year-old Eden slips away from the constrained mood at home and goes to a secret place in the garden. When a butterfly flutters past and two toilet paper rolls turn into binoculars, the surroundings suddenly appear in a new light. Malin Erixon lets the imagination flow freely in a magical animation about a forgotten child’s longing for love.
