The Driver
is a poetic animated short film about a train that is on a compulsive rush to an unknown destination. The aesthetics of the environment and of the train, the disturbing sounds of the journey and of the narration and the fast paced scenario, manifest an inner dystopian reality where the unbalanced train is led by ambition, rage, frustration and a hint of self mockery.
