Synopsis
This documentary short is about 12-year-old Frida who is nearly blind, she can only make out contours and shadows. She likes to come up with stories in her head, which is where the animated parts take place. In these moments where the audience is alone with Frida, the animation attempts to grasp her world and her playful, humorous and surprisingly grown up self.

The animation was drawn by hand on paper and composed digitally.
