A Demain is a quite beautiful and poignant animated drama that you can only watch on Cineshort. Our protagonist Sasha is playing with her toy in her room. She's a child, but she assigns meaning to everything happening around her to the extent that her own little world allows. Her parents are in the process of separation and the arguments are quite intense. We see the effects of this argumentative environment on little Sasha's inner world. For a child, parents' separation, fighting, and anger toward each other take on very different meanings. However, even though parents may be aware of this, it's often not possible to resolve marital problems calmly. Because the marriage process isn't always rosy either. Resentments and anger can't always be quietly brushed aside. This is a difficult equation with many sides. But the child is the most innocent and defenseless one in this equation. Returning to the film, our director has masterfully told in just two minutes a subject that could fill pages of writing, in this beautiful animated film, and I sincerely congratulate them. I definitely recommend the film to everyone. Enjoy watching!
