Moth is a surreal psychological short film about a skeleton trapped in a cold and monotonous toothpaste factory. A noble skeleton delivers a box filled with human skin, prompting the protagonist to undergo a grotesque transformation in a desperate attempt to find identity and meaning. Consumed by desire and societal conformity, he confronts a beating heart symbolizing lost humanity, leading to a tragic conclusion. Through vivid sound design and striking visuals, Moth explores themes of social pressure, identity, and the cost of transformation.
