Azúl


A fancy dress party is taking place on board a cruise ship.  One of the guests, dressed as a Roman Centurion, comes up to deck for a breath of air.  He notices something mysterious on the island the ship is approaching. His curiosity aroused he takes a small boat, along with a flower and a robot, to explore.  What they discover is some very, very strange goings on…

This riot of an animated short was created by six Supinfocom Arles students in 2012: Rémy Busson, Francis Canitrot, Aurélien Duhayon, Sébastien Iglesias, Maxence Martin and Paùl Monge.  I have to say I did see one or two similarities between this and the TV series Lost. However, unlike Lost, this mostly made sense!
