FISH SCALE
POLISH TITLE: ŁUSKA
A man is hiding in the darkness in his own flat where the only source of light is a glow of the TV set. When he leaves for a shop, he covers his head with a hood not to reveal his identity. All these efforts come to nothing as one day cat agents in black come to his home anyway. Fish Scale reverses the roles and, instead of man , cats rule the world. The animation shows what it means to be “the other” in a homogenous, closed community.
