Gordo, calvo y bajito

Antonio is a middle aged exemplary employee at a notary office in Bogota. But he's fat, bald and short—and an outcast. His luck changes when a new boss arrives and possibilities for transformation appear. This simple but powerfully eloquent animation seems to shimmer, full of texture, conveying an amazingly clear sense of the urban landscape, gestures and emotions.  It tells a poignant and at the same time sweet and funny tale of self-discovery.

Antonio es un empleado ejemplar en una oficina de notariado público de Bogotá. Pero es gordo, calvo y bajito, y sus compañeros de trabajo lo ignoran o se burlan de él. Un día su suerte cambia con la llegada de un nuevo jefe y la posibilidad de transformarse. Esta animación simple pero poderosamente elocuente, llena de texturas, transmite una sensación increíblemente clara del paisaje urbano y de las emociones. Nos cuenta una historia de descubrimiento personal que es conmovedora y al mismo tiempo dulce y divertida.
