Boundaries is an exceptional cut-out animation, praised for its visually complex and striking aesthetic. Without dialogue, it powerfully explores themes of social inequality and personal space. Its innovative use of animation to tackle such profound issues highlights the director’s impressive vision and creativity, making it a standout and a clear top contender.

This film elevates quotidian life through a fierce, searching, dynamic exploration that is evocative, artful and existential. This relatable, but illuminating reflection on modern life has exceptional tension and levity.
