A nephew recalls the sometimes-lonely and often-eccentric life of his beloved uncle.
Sinekatalog’s take
A nephew's recollection of an eccentric, lonely uncle, told in lovingly gloomy clay animation. It is funny, sad and strangely tender in just a few minutes. An easy recommendation to anyone who likes handcrafted animation with a dark sense of humor.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
