The Fourth Wall
Mahboobeh Kalaee
A stuttering boy transforms an Iranian kitchen into a fantastic world, and an exuberant animation dotted with real-life elements ironizes ingrained family patterns.
A stuttering boy transforms an Iranian kitchen into a fantastic cosmos. The father’s body becomes a refrigerator, the mother's belly a washing machine whose spin cycle gives birth to a screaming baby. Even birds on tiles and detergents have a surprising life of their own. This exuberant animation, dotted with real-life elements – fried eggs, broken plates, chess pieces – develops a subtle wit, ironizing ingrained family patterns.
