Our story responds to the themes OY developed Place de
Clichés – humans living in their bubbles not being able to see
the wood through the trees.
We imagined a group of young people engaged in a futile
conflict over a baron set of rocks. Intent on winning the upper
hand they overlook the impending danger in the skies above.
We wanted to make it using a cartoon naivety reminiscent of
the Gauls in Asterix who were always infighting but shared the
primeval fear of “The skies falling on their heads”. The
catastrophic event when it happens is more Monty Python
than Hollywood disaster movie. In the final confrontation they
dance large at each other but both sides have to run for cover
as the “blob” falls from the sky.
