Goodbye Balthazar

A scarecrow, a storm, a broken leg. The resonant sound of a sea shell. Looking back. Leaving forever.

Despite being broken in a snowstorm, a rickety scarecrow wakes to find a beautiful shell. But as the sound of the sea inside mesmerises him, the shell is stolen by a crow. Setting out to reclaim it, the scarecrow embarks on a poignant journey in this wonderful, but possibly saddest animation you’ll ever see. He just wants his shell back!
