One of the reviews for this animated short really liked it but admitted that the film wasn't always understandable. Now I understand that art films are often difficult to comprehend but why in the case of this film did they have to make everything so strange and obtuse? To me, this did get in the way of enjoying it and I had a hard time forcing myself to stick with it--though I did.
The film has so many strange images that I really don't want to try to explain them--you just have to see it for yourself. The story appears to be about the youngest of four kids whose father eventually dies and he also discovers love and the opposite sex. However, the journey there is so strange and convoluted, I am sure I missed something and it must be more than a story about life's journey.
The art of the film varied a lot. Sometimes it was impressive--particularly with the nice shading and textures. However, so much of the art looked like a child did it, though I think it was intended to look more tribal. In fact, speaking of tribal, I think the film was supposed to be set in Africa--at least the kid doing the narration sounded African. However, tigers don't come from Africa--perhaps this was just a mistranslation from the German.
Overall, this film just left me baffled. Perhaps I am just a plebeian, but I didn't get it.
