Nordic Shorts, Estonia 2026, 12 Min., eston. OV, engl. st


Juhan eavesdrops on a phone call of his grandfather, who is an undertaker, and comes up with a way to add some excitement to the endless, tedious summer days: playing hide-and-seek. Hidden in the car boot, he watches a funeral. When his grandparents finally find him, he has to learn to see the world in a new way. A lovingly designed animation in which childlike curiosity has devastating consequences.

The film is part of the short film programme Nordic Shorts 1: In & Out, On & Off.
