Film description
An animated film noir, reminiscent of movies by Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie. The plot is centered around the eponymous bag – Hitchcock's classic McGuffin, a mysterious object whose sole presence stimulates the protagonists' passions and pushes the action forward. How far will the bodyguard, Mr. S., go to get his hand on the precious cargo?
The experience is created using an extremely toilsome technique, in which the filmmaker draws every single line by hand, using a virtual paintbrush in the VR space. The classic scene cuts were replaced by a whole range of creative transitions, allowing for smooth changes of the surroundings and eliminating disorientation. The effect is very expressive and it perfectly fits the tale of a dark object of desire and people obsessed by the need to posses it.
