Watching a cast of eccentric and wonderfully observed apartment dwellers spiraling into chaos makes this six-minute grad film by Hochschule Luzern animation students Amélie Cochet and Louis Möhrle time well spent.

Amélie Cochet and Louis Möhrle in Bern, Switzerland: “It’s a film about a building with an inner courtyard and its inhabitants. While the different characters follow their everyday routines, trash slowly begins to pile up in the courtyard.

“What seems harmless in the beginning, one night escalates to a total disaster.”
