“The Great Malaise” Short Film by Catherine Lepage

From the National Film Board of Canada: “In the voiceover for this animated short, a young woman attempts to describe herself, casting her life in the ideal light that society expects.

“The film’s imagery, however, tells a different story, poignantly illustrating the intense anxiety that comes with the quest for perfection and the pursuit of happiness. A film that’s both funny and moving, and above all, profoundly human.”
