Hamskifte

Hamskifte means molting or to molt. It is an experimental hand drawn film about death. It consists of partly rotoscoped and partly improvised animation, accompanied by a monolog- a consciousness or stream of thoughts. Which, in the wake of another's death, is becoming conscious about her own. And through grief, learning to live alongside death.
