Tôt ou tard
Animation, 5 min.
by Jadwiga Kowalska
Switzerland, January 2008
Squirrel and bat. The convergence of different worlds and times of day. Forces in the underground govern night and day – and much more. By accident, this regulated everyday life has ground to a halt. And thus begins the mutual journey of two solitary figures.
