Chez Eddy/Hornet directors Emmanuelle & Julien (who both worked on the spectacular Supinfocom short A La Française) just dropped us their latest: a short, sweet, animated confection shedding light on the hidden lives and frustrations of garden ornaments.

“We created an entire universe for this film. Even the flamingo (Eugene) in the background has a story. Ultimately, we decided to keep it very simple with minimal animation and just tell the funny story of two friends who are trying to play a board game together.”
