We Lived in Grass

About This Movie

We Lived in Grass, a 1995 student film, unfolds like a dream with its surreal animation style. The setting, just a couple of streets from the end of the world, feels both intimate and vast, creating this strange sense of nostalgia and impending doom. The story is told through the innocent eyes of a little boy, whose father's stark declarations shape a harsh reality. The tone is oddly whimsical yet deeply unsettling, masterfully blending childlike wonder with bleak themes of gender roles and war. The pacing is deliberate, allowing each frame to breathe and linger, making the whole experience feel almost meditative. Distinctive for its practical effects and unique narrative perspective, this film is a raw exploration of childhood innocence amidst chaos.
