Caries is a new entry on Bonobostudio’s distribution roster. This drawing on paper, ink and aquarelle animated film follows a shaman woman eager to create a monumental work of art, while remaining blissfully unaware that she is painting her murals inside the mouth of a vain weather presenter.

Swiss artist Aline Höchli did a massive job on the project, taking on the role of scriptwriter, director, animator editor and producer in front of KOLOSS Studio, which she founded in 2016.
