The Guy who just Wanted to Smoke

He just wants to smoke. But the rain makes the wet cigarette not quite as appealing. In search of a kiosk, the guy strolls past various crazy creatures. Some even try to attack him. The guy doesn't care at all, and his ignoring of the enemies kills them. He just wants to find a shop in this nowhere. Upon the final discovery, the seeker notices a silent emptiness on the cigarette shelf - and faints.

The film has won the Filmbilder Award 2024 at „Trickreich“, the annual animation presentation of the Art University in Kassel.
