- 1 min read
A story about an artist who couldn’t take it anymore.
It’s about loneliness, dreams, and a quiet way to say goodbye.
Story
The video follows an artist reflecting on his life and work. The words are simple and direct, capturing his inner state without extra explanation.
He talks about being called talented, but how it never led anywhere. Every piece he made pulled him further into quiet, dark loneliness — deep enough to feel suffocated, but not deep enough to disappear.
He dreams of running through open fields, laughing, and being loved by bright, beautiful young women. But even in his imagination, when eyes meet, they look away.
In the end, he decides to become a unicorn.
Tone and approach
The script is minimal and personal. There are no elaborate metaphors or outside narration. Everything comes through the artist’s voice and the pauses between his words, leaving room for thought.
It is a quiet, personal goodbye — not a spectacle, just a moment between reality and imagination.

Director, animation, script: Kostiantyn Kozlov
