In Her Boots

There is something quite surreal about the animation here as we follow the - largely naked - antics of grandma “Hedl” who has a visit from her grown up granddaughter “Mia” but who seems pretty much distracted throughout. The woman appears to vacillate from reality to fantasy and it’s this latter phase that sees her and her favourite hiking books traipsing up an Alp. The style of the line-drawn animation is really quite innovative, making little effort to present “Hedl” in any sort of accurate perspective, and there are a few interpretations I could put onto the story which also worked well enough, but I could have done with just a little more framework for the plot and I did find the fluidity of the drawing somewhat like a characterised lava lamp at a times. It is worth five minutes though - and see what you make of it.
