Koyaa – Slippery Soap
2019, 2'45'', puppet stop-motion animated film
Koyaa brings Mr Raven a pile of mud, material for his new birdhouse. Dirty, he heads over to the bathroom to wash. As he starts scrubbing, the soap slides out of his hands; Koyaa tries catching it, awkwardly fumbling, and before he knows it he's skating around on the soap like a figure skater. Tumbling to the ground, he shakes his head to think ... then leaps into the air with a clever idea. He'll trick the soap into playing nice!
