My Fat Arse and I

Ja i moja gruba dupa
Poland 2020 / 10’
Maria Is Not Alive On Time

The title doesn't lie. Yelyzaveta Pysmak's animation is uncompromising, swashbuckling and liberatingly cheeky. The director humorously describes the adventures of a girl obsessed with losing weight. When she finally achieves her goal, she gets an honorable invitation to a ceremony in the TooSkinnyAss Kingdom. But what if this seemingly idyllic land reveals its dark sides?
