Une vie sauvage

Amanda Forbis & Wendy Tilby
2011 | 13 min
Court métrage d'animation sur un jeune homme pimpant entretenu par ses parents qui quitte l’Angleterre en 1909 pour élever du bétail en Alberta. Son penchant pour les loisirs lui laisse cependant peu de temps pour se mesurer aux troupeaux, et il devient vite évident que son éducation raffinée ne l’a manifestement pas préparé aux rudes conditions du nouveau monde.
