Fred drifts between reality and dreams, the past and the present. He remembers episodes from his life, questions his place in the universe and dialogs with his philosopher cat Freud, a symbol of his subconscious mind, who guides him in his existential quest.
After a number of music videos mixing live footage and animation, Stefano Bertelli explores an unprecedented technique in his second feature film: A movie entirely made using stop-motion with low-poly paper models. Making animation a tool for formal experimentation and philosophical investigation, he takes Richard Linklater’s Waking Life approach even further, towards an abstract stylization in which cardboard silhouettes are tormented by Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. How better to convey the fragility of human beings and the temporary nature of their existence than by making them so easy to tear apart?
