Watch: Vibrant Animated Short 'Horacio' Created by Caroline Cherrier

"I was thinking, be careful or I'll send my son!" Whoa. This short is unexpectedly unsettling, with a dark side to it that plays against the bright colors. Horacio is an animated short film from France, running just over 10 mins, made by filmmaker Caroline Cherrier. It premiered at the Annecy Film Festival and first debuted in France in 2020, and is now online to watch thanks to Short of the Week. The film follows a boy who kills another boy, and goes to prison for it. Years ago, Guillaume killed his friend Horacio. During his long prison sentence, Guillaume gradually forgets why he killed him. Then he is released... With the voice of Spider Zed as Guillaume.
