Vanitas is a film animation with a very experimental character.It is an effort to make a contadiction between the style of the 2D, traditional (black and white) animation and a story, characterised by a very shocking and unusual for such kind of work concept. The explicit and detailed depiction of a very shocking action (as suicide is) with the use of cartoon, funny chatacters creates a very weird and hard final result that shocks the audience. Finally the project underlines the fact that the promising, posthumusly eternal life does not necessarily exist and the religious theories where support that concept are as fake as cartoons are.
