Sulky and perplexed he waits and thinks, trying to understand how he ended up in this "hellhole." While blaming fate for his misfortunes, hope appears before his eyes: he has noticed a glimpse of beauty. The man's sleek white shoe enters the frame and shamelessly steps onto the ideal colour saturated lawn of a miniature planet. Flawlessly dressed, he travels around the fantasy land, encountering all he needs for sustenance: a sheep that gives milk, a tree for shade, a pond with fish, a butterfly for beauty. Nothing could be more perfect. In a state of complete joy, intoxication and self-absorption, the man circles around the planet, using and enjoying... and he leaves behind a never-ending trail of unwanted things. In an intelligent and self-critical way, Planet's story evolves from ironic to absurd to grotesque, as our temperamental hero is surprised each and every time that he encounters the ever-growing nastiness. With carefully designed images, masterful art direction and detailed animation, this environmental short film creates a humorous mirror to our own lack of perspective and ultimately our myopic vision.
