About the film
A short anecdote about what can happen at some car service facilities. Why are they so dodgy and why do so many junkyards seem suspicious? Is it possible to gather so many damaged cars in such places in a normal way? Why is it that when you walk by you see the weeds sprouting and you feel like they are long forgotten?
What has happened to their owners? What has happened to the customers who sometimes stop by? Beware of some car yards – they might be a trap!
The film "Test" is a short FAMU movie (7 min) shot at the department of animation using the pixelating technique – the combination of a real actor and animation.
