Hollow is a (soon to be published) short animated film showing a day in the life of a solitary old-timer, where routine collides with the surrealism of his home – a tree hollow on the outskirts of a village. The animation is a contemplation of sorts and a nod to the old polish and czechoslovak children's movies, as well as to the house of the author's grandmother.
