Morro Images GmbH & Co.  StrAngel
short film festival

Morro Images GmbH & Co. (Germany) StrAngel – The Angel of the Odd, animation, based on a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, tells the story of a bachelor who devoted himself to the compulsive logic of reason and the categorical imperative. He sees bad luck, as something of others, and when someone plunges into disaster it is just his or her own fault, that is, until one drunken night he receives a visit from a truly strange angel. This is exceptional quality animation.
