Marco & Polo Go Round

XR Competition

Information

[FR] Le matin de son anniversaire, Marco découvre le gâteau que Polo lui a préparé avec amour et déposé sur la table de la cuisine. Il remarque aussi que tous les objets de la cuisine ont été recouverts de ruban adhésif et de ficelle, comme pour se protéger d’une tempête imminente. Ce qui commence comme un beau matin pour le jeune couple prend une tournure surréaliste lorsque leur monde se renverse littéralement autour d’eux.

[EN] On the morning of his birthday, Marco discovers the cake Polo has lovingly made and left for him on the kitchen table. He also notices that every object in the kitchen has been battened down with tape and twine as if to safeguard against an oncoming storm. What begins as a beautiful morning for the young couple takes a surreal turn when their world literally falls apart around them.
