«Little Money for a Service» — a short animated film.
A five-year-old girl walks across the city to the kindergarten with money to help her family avoid a divorce. She doesn’t understand that adult problems are beyond her capacity.
What sets this apart from other projects?
Animated films about childhood often idealize it through the lens of adult nostalgia. This project shows childhood from a child’s perspective: vibrant, messy, and full of discoveries and questions. The camera captures the perception of the world through the eyes of a five-year-old, where everything seems huge and incomprehensible, and adult concerns permeate every aspect of life. Special attention is paid to visual techniques that convey this child-like perception: proportions, angles, and the scale of objects.
Studio
The project is aimed at young adults aged 18–35, for whom childhood remains a vibrant and meaningful memory. It will also attract enthusiasts of auteur animation and festival cinema.
This audience values stories based on real-life events and sees echoes of their own experiences within them. A novel about parental divorce through a child’s eyes is universal and touching because many have gone through something similar.
Characters
The characters are designed to be simple—avoiding excessive caricature—so that the viewer can easily relate to them.
