Black Sheep Boy

Generation 14plus 2020

I'm not good at living my life, the pixelated little man laments one night. Following the advice of the giant cat outside his house, he sets off to find the wise lion. It is a quest that takes him through a colourful fairytale world reminiscent of early video games; a world of animals grappling with philosophical questions, whose feelings pour out when you prick them. What starts out as a nightmare, ends with a parable of a dog and a boomerang.
