Directed by Amandine Senny, Horizon is a beautiful stop-motion animation based on the boundless desire for freedom.

The film was made as part of a residency program at Supamonks Studio in Paris. Amandine Senny wrote the script, built the sets and the puppets, animated and directed everything. The story is about a city surrounded by a huge wall. As the horizon has been taken, the inhabitants of the city live a bleak and oppressed life. A young woman starts a fight on her own for hope to resume among her people.
