Angustia
Sin Diálogos / No Dialogue
Un niño teme al viento a partir de una serie de eventos traumáticos que marcaron esa relación desde su más temprana niñez. Junto a su fiel compañero canino, el niño se debatirá en una encrucijada que afrontará su miedo a volar, representado por el huracanado y constante viento.
"Desde el día en que nació, André estuvo acosado por el viento. Tanto así
que terminó por tenerle pánico y esconderse siempre de él. Hasta que su
adorado perro se mete en problemas y él debe afrontar sus temores hasta
que así, aprende a disfrutar del dichoso viento. Dirigido por Emiel
Penders, este es un hermoso corto animado tan dulce como negro."

"Walking my own hound once led to a broken wrist so I can appreciate
Emiel Penders' account of the trials and tribulations of dog ownership.
Finely drawn in 2D black and white, his 2005 movie, Angst, is the tale
of André whose relationship with his dog causes him some distress and
much joy, in a landscape dominated by a wind that scares the boy until
his dog is in danger. Emiel's comic timing is a delight as the wind
sweeps the characters up to the sky in a series of impossible
situations. In Angst all those repressed fears that plague us are
confronted and there is always a wet and smelly canine tongue to
re-establish normality. The original movie was transformed into a sweet
sounding music video by production company Caviar for Bunny. Emiel's website,
where the movie may be viewed in full, offers the two alternatives.
Personally, although I liked the music, I felt the sound of the original
wind and barking necessary to fully appreciate the story. Other movies
on his site include at least one other canine treat."

"From the day André was born, he got harassed by the wind, which resulted in
a fear for it. He is forced to confront his fears, the moment his dog gets in trouble."
