Cartagene - ESMA 2024

Thirty-year-old Paul drifts into a memory of childhood summers spent with his grandfather, and the animation slows down to watch how that bond was built in small gestures rather than big scenes. It rewards its six minutes with a specific, unsentimental picture of a relationship remembered rather than mourned.

Why it's free: ESMA publishes its own students' graduation films on its official channel.
