The alarm. A walk with the dog in the park, while in your thoughts you are still in your bed. Boring hours pass at the counter in the store, while in your thoughts you are still in the park. At home, an egg is burnt in your frying pan, while in your thoughts you are bored at the counter in the store. This is a story of being in multiple realities at the same time – sometimes in one of parallel realities, other times in all of them simultaneously.

The simple humor of the director of Turkish descent, Ada Güvenir, disarms – we are all both here, reading this text, and somewhere else. The miniature by Güvenir, a visual artist and film-director, had its premiere in Shanghai International Film Festival where it was awarded for the Best Animated Short Film. The film has been made in the hand-drawn animation technique and it reminds us that everyone should break the “fourth wall” and freely explore the mandalas of their thoughts. A good film can come out of it.
