BEDROOMS MAKE NO SENSE
an experimental short film by Franziska Meyer
LOGLINE
"Bedrooms Make No Sense" is an experimental short film blending animation and documentary into a wild road movie.
SYNOPSIS
"Bedrooms Make No Sense" is an experimental short film blending animation and documentary into a wild road movie. The director herself takes the wheel — guiding us through sea breeze in France, cow-besieged Alpine roads, and raging storms. An odyssey full of highs and lows that culminates in a self-deprecating conclusion. A multi-layered journey with a unique, unmistakable narrative style.
