| Paradise is a stop-motion animated short that is told using tin toys from the 1950s that move around on metal posts inside an "automated" world. This visual story follows John, as he goes about his daily routine, only to begin to question his very existence and the role that he plays in his automated world. The film mixes kitsch and popular culture in a multilayered story that tackles heavy subjects with a light touch. |
