French animation Mortys shows Death as a working mother who obviously has to juggle things between taking care of a child and doing the “job.” Things though, turn awry when the child schemes to get more of the mother’s time. Mortys is a graduation short film co-directed by Gaelle Lebegue, Mathieu Vidal, Aurelien Ronceray-Peslin et Nicolas Villeneuve, and produced by the ESMA. We find the idea and the concept very interesting, and the film manages to live up to the expectations it creates.
