PLEASE is a dark comedy about humankind’s desire to love and to be loved. An animated short centred around neediness, intimacy and romance.
Told through a series of loosely connected, tender and absurd scenes,the film follows people who are searching for closeness and acceptance.
In a world that preaches self-control, the film explores the sides we try to hide,such as feeling needy and pathetic.
The stories overlap and reappear, gradually forming a portrait of collective longing.
