Oh Willy…

Oh Willy…

  • Emma de Swaef / Marc James Roels
  • Belgium / The Netherlands, 2012
  • 16 min.

Forced to return to his naturist roots, Willy bungles his way into noble savagery. Entirely made from wool, felt and textile, Emma De Swaef and Marc James Roels' short tells a story of life, death and rebirth with wobbly thighs, vomit, breastfeeding, space travel and bunny rabbits - all against the backdrop of a nudist colony. Oh Willy... reads as a surrealist story about loneliness, grief and a soft little guy tossed around by life. De Swaef & Roels create a universe where its inhabitants and building blocks are allowed their imperfections.
