Schrödinger’s Letter
Lukas Brandstetter; University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, Austria/Slovakia
Film talks about a fractured relationship between a Father and his Daughter. The main message is that love has many faces, and sometimes, in moments of doubt, we need to step back to see the situation from a different perspective.
“A film with a strong inner dilemma of the main character. What makes it complex and beautiful is the way the story develops and reveals the background of the characters and their relationship. / Excellent graphic elements and transitions between fiction and animation, combining the two media.”
