Aristaeus (2018)

Winner, Spirit of the Festival Award, London Short Series Festival 2018.

Have you ever dreamed of developing superpowers? Some say that if you manage to survive being struck by lightning it just might happen. Last year five sheep were struck by lightning, while sheltering from rain under the same ancient oak tree. Remarkably they all survived, and something rather strange happened to all of them. This is the story of one of those sheep. A sheep called Aristaeus. Duration: 11:04.
