La Noria (2018)
8/10
The Tragic Story of a Little Boy
4 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
La Noria or ''water wheel'', that was the google translation in english, is a beautiful animated short film about a little boy dealing with the death of his father. Based on what we see building these wheels with his father was something the boy used to do with his father while he was alive, something they used to do to strengthen their bond and have fun. The boy keeps building these wheels even after his dad is gone, probably a way to feel close to him, a way to keep his memory alive. The monsters in the movie are not real monsters. They are this little boy's demons. All the fear, pain, despair and suffering that the boy has to go through after his father's death. In the end we see that the boy is able to face his fears and build the wheel and the monsters fade away. A simple but very powerful short film. The animation is top notch, the music fits perfectly and overall this is very well done. My rating is 8.5/10.
