Synopsis
A girl embarks to travel the world alone, only to discover that she cannot escape herself.
"Da Sola" (italian for "alone"), was inspired by Director Morgan Gruer's experience as a woman traveling alone pre-pandemic.
Note from Morgan Gruer:
The style is executed in an illustrative 2D animation style reminiscent of my sketchbook. My sketchbook is my constant companion wherever I go; it keeps me company, keeps me curious, and keeps me grounded. It was only fitting to express this story in the visual style of my sketchbook with loose, seemingly unfiltered thoughts.
