Koyaa – Wild Sunbed
2017, 2'45'', puppet stop motion animated film
On a hot summer’s day, all Koyaa wants to do is relax on his sunbed. As usual, Mr Raven is busy building a birdhouse, this time from straw. Koyaa lies down, shielding his face from the sun. Suddenly, the sunbed snaps shut, trapping Koyaa inside, then spitting him out like a cannonball towards the cliff – where he just about manages to hang on to a vine! Koyaa weaves a lasso from the plant, but instead of catching the sunbed, he’s treated to a wild rodeo ride on its back. It seems like he could use another clever idea ...
