About This Movie

Lina dives into the life of Urzelina, a level crossing attendant whose existence feels stuck between time periods. The animation style carries a whimsical yet melancholic vibe, almost dreamlike, capturing her mundane routine of coffee and toast, which mirrors her half-hearted engagement with life. It has this slow pacing that lets you soak in the atmosphere, reflecting the inertia she feels. Yet, there's this moment—a shift in her daily grind—that brings in a hint of change, which is intriguing. The film doesn't rush but rather invites you to linger, to appreciate the small details. The voice performances, although understated, carry an emotional weight that resonates with Urzelina’s internal struggles. It's distinctive in how it plays with the concept of time and the significance of seemingly trivial moments.
