In this brief but visually striking animated journey from director Etienne Bonnet, a solitary figure embarks on a quiet exploration of perception and perspective. The film follows a nameless protagonist, voiced by Etienne Bonnet, who becomes fascinated with the idea of seeing beyond the immediate, literal horizon that rests at the tip of one’s own nose. Driven by a gentle curiosity rather than a grand quest, the character navigates a dreamlike landscape where the boundaries of space and self begin to blur. The central conflict is an internal one, as the protagonist struggles to reconcile the intimate, close-up view of the world with the vast, unreachable distances that lie just beyond reach. The tone is meditative and poetic, with a minimalist animation style that enhances the sense of introspection and wonder. This short film offers a contemplative meditation on the limits of human vision and the endless possibility found in shifting one’s point of view.
