Michaela Müller’s animated cartoon looks at the issue of illegal immigration and the clash between the rich North and the poor South. A Swiss family arrives at a luxury Mediterranean resort with its two children, who go exploring outside the beach’s guarded area, where they encounter an immigrant’s provisional shelter. The artist, who has lived in Zagreb since 2005, is originally from Switzerland as well. Within its first year the film, made using paint-on-glass animation (requiring some 5,000 images in all), received many awards at various film festivals.
