You’re now a bird, sitting in the backseat of a cab. The driver, a curious bird also, takes you through a continuously changing city to your new home. A very unexpected journey. A Michel Gondry-like animation in a clever parable of migration.

Thanks to a combination of stop-motion animation, puppets, 360-degree sound and virtual reality, Passenger cleverly and amusingly stages the bizarre feeling of arriving in a new country and the changes in perspective that newly-arrived migrants go through throughout this process. This animated short movie features a reflection on migration and the culture shock of being in an unknown place or a new country. One of the rare movies to use stop-motion technique in virtual reality.
