A boy is rowing a boat with his dog on an industrial section of the Ottawa River. The scene freezes and the boy on the boat is turned into a art rendering. The camera zooms out. As the boy disappears into nothingness, the camera zooms out into the cosmos. Then the camera zooms back in focusing on a mosquito on the boy's arm into a blood cell and into the microscopic world.
It's an 8 min short developed by the National Film Board of Canada. The Canadian government had a busy production arm for the arts at this time. I remember seeing this back in the day but I'm not sure where. I always liked the style of the art. As for the concept, it's fine for a short but it feels a little long even then. It needs a bigger hook. The mosquito is a fun surprise but one is not enough.
