An attempt to combine the aesthetics of film and pop-art comics in the form of 2D and 3D animation. The film is a variation on the theme of a black crime story. As befits this convention, there are cynical gangsters robbing gold and a tired hero - a tough cop. Here we have an armed robbery, an apparent friendship and a brutal betrayal, a car chase through the crowded streets of a big city and a shootout in the finale without a happy ending. The whole thing feels like a story straight out of a Chandler novel.

The birth poster

An anonymous couple comes to the maternity ward. The woman is immobilized in the bed, the man is in the waiting room. Doctors and nurses decide to have a drunken party. A mysterious guest will help Benio come into the world. An animated joke by Marek Serafinski, a creator and producer of animated films, graphic artist and content creator. From the very beginning, the artist used a combined technique, manipulating shots and graphics. Chronicle pictures of life of the 1980s and 1990s were diversified by including fantastic characters and phenomena. "The Birth" is a grotesque view of the reality of hospital births, the separation of fathers, the isolation of women, and alcohol consumption during working hours.
