Hurikán has a mission: to find a keg of beer that can impress the girl he has a crush on, the waitress at his favorite bar. The mission isn’t easy, but he has to be up to the task.
Hurikán, by Jan Saska, is a charming and melancholic animated short with a touch of subtle humor. The story follows a pig who calmly goes to a beer stand, only to fall in love with the human vendor. When the beer keg runs out, she asks him to fetch more from the other side of the city. The pig then embarks on a serene journey, moving through the city in a nostalgic atmosphere, where small details make his mission almost hypnotic. With a stylized animation and a slow-paced rhythm, Hurikán is a simple yet captivating story about longing, persistence, and the unexpected encounters of life. (Liedson Carvalho)
