A nude model is posing with statuesque stillness for a drawing class – until an mosquito bite challenges his self-control. An inner struggle between the pressure to be perfect and primal impulses begins.
Oscar Jacobson, born in Sweden and raised in Switzerland, began creating art at an early age. After training as a graphic designer at an advertising agency, he eventually began studying animation at the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg, from which he graduated with a diploma in 2024. Since then, he has been working as a freelance animator.
