Wat zit er in die kist?

What’s inside that crate?

BELGIUM / 9 MIN. / 2023 / ANIMATION / DCP 2K / 16:9 / 5.1 / COLOR

A story about a pilot, a captain, a machinist, a driver, a mailman, a girl… and a giant box. What’s in the box? The giant box that the pilot brought with him from a country, far, far away? Probably an elephant, the captain thinks, and very carefully he loads the box onto his ship. The ship hobbles and wobbles on the high seas. A strong gust breaks open the walls of the box creakingly. And what’s in the box? Another box!.
