Janus Film

Experimental animation/live-action short by Dušan Vukotić

Everything is perfect for Marc: He has moved in with Lara, they want to get married, and Marc is no longer worried about the small flaw in his best piece. But then Lara's ex-boyfriend Tim suddenly appears on the scene. He still gets along with Lara splendidly, and when Marc gets to see Tim's best piece, his self-confidence is over: Tim has been very generously provided for by nature.
