The director is an Iranian woman and I'm so proud of her for speaking about the problems that us Iranian women and other women in similar situations have in such a fantastic and unique way. I hope this animation gets the attention it deserves and I wish all women who are imprisoned by rules and women who don't have control over their own life and body get the freedom they deserve.
I agree and we could go further and push the idea so it takes into account the freedom of all living beings :)
As an iranian girl, its so wierd getting positive recognition on this platform.
well said, i very much appreciate where you are coming from. Courage. i wish you relief from fear and suffering.. freedom of creative expression... and protection from harm. i love many things Iranian, not least of which includes film and music, and understand that some artists among other citizens face dire circumstances. i very much feel for you and hope things will change. Love from Australia ❤️
Also, i appreciate your voice as a woman ❤️🙏♀️💪🎥

I feel like most of this year's thesis films are related to social problems or worldwide challenges. They're so deep, while with good storytellings. Incredible works!
In my opinion they have been recurring in previous years too.
All those students are creating incredible works of art, so much talent !
How is this work deep? It has a very simple, clear, and effective message. It's narrative and point of view are completely obvious with next to no subtlety in delivery. None of those things I just said are a negative critique, either. They're part of what make the short good. It shines a light on an important issue with simplicity and clarity. A work does not need to be "deep" to be of high quality. I would say that this is the case here. The story drives home one point in an obvious delivery. Just because something is shallow does not mean it's bad. Sometimes, like in this case, a shallow quality can help make sure the message is communicated easily and effectively. Definitely not a deep work...but most certainly a good one.
True artists.
@@gray_rain to be straightforward and clearly stated is not to be shallow. The short addresses repression so unambiguously and unmistakably that it strikes as DEEP as the very foundations of tyranny.
@@dontaylor7315 I think we fundamentally disagree as to what constitutes a work of art being "deep" or "shallow"...which is fine. :)
go badass grandmas!!! and i gotta say, the 2d cardboard style of the environment is so creative and well done! i always look forward to gobelin's releases, bravo to this team!!
Was just thinking the same :)
Totally stunning the 3d card cut outs....
@@carolswarbrick1505 how genius the director is to bring such a fabulous way to change the environments! Bravo
yeah shes great
a
This moved me.
I was drawn to the colorful paper-like pop-up art style and the implications of mystery at the start, then I was surprised by the contrasted tones of comedy fused with seriousness. Then by the end, the truth hit me.
This is a wonderful way to spread awareness. A comedic, colorful, captivating film with easily lovable characters, and then, the audience is delivered with a truth that needs to be heard. Bravo.
paper kills trees! why are u happy about this?
I came across this short by accident and let me tell you that this is very well describing the situation and how it is to live in Iran. I was born in Iran and spent part of my early adulthood there. The rules are made on the go and how it is fitted to the Islamic government. Sometimes people forget that it is only recent (last 40 years) that Iran has had the face of an Islamic extremist country to the outside world. Before that they had as much not less freedom like any other average country in the world. But now it is what it is and almost 3 generations passed and they are fighting the way they can by for example owning a dog in private and or singing as an underground singer or ride a bicycle in the remote areas.
I am just amazed and happy to see this short getting attention here …
Wow i think if I was there i would hate all men. And couldn't respect them. Being afraid of these things. What idiots.
ok
Okay so now Gobelin students are putting out Pixar-quality films !?!?!
Congratulations to everyone involved in this short film, it's incredible !
Always have, buddy.
My mum had a gorgeous voice. She was not allowed to sing in public in Iran due to the rigid rules in Iran against women . She was just singing for my father and her children. She passed away a few years ago and we buried her with all of her talents and dreams that she had to perform in public… it never happened. I’m so Sorry mum . Rest in peace
Sorry to hear that. I depise people who think it's ok to restrict others' happiness like that.
The mix of the 3d and the 2d environment was perfect.
I had no idea how suffocating communities/counties/cultures are for women. This brilliant, creative, shocking, inspirational short film will educate the world. Well done.
this was incredible! and we NEED a full version of the song!!!
You can say me the name of the song , please 🙂
I keep writing where you can find the song and it is really weird that it is being deleted every time I write the address! So funny ! either the owner of the account or the UA-cam wants to delete it! I am wondering why? ! Common man! this is a free world and helping others to find a post is not harmful!!!!
And I still looking for the name of the song
@@milancommercialholdingco.5076 🤔🙄
@@milancommercialholdingco.5076 Pls reply where we can find the song.
i feel for iranian women, as someone who lives right next to that country, we get news now and then and it breaks my heart, hope one day women won't have these problems
When all people would rely on the God of the Bible in stead of on allah....problems are solved and we would all be living in freedom.
The Islam is the problem....especially for women.
@@lotte5173 do you know what Christianity has done to women and men in the past and what we're still doing in many countires in the name of Christianity!
I'm a Christian myself and it sadens me when people think Islam is the problem. Humans in all times and in all societies have used ideologies and religion for their own purposes!
@@lotte5173 and what about the dark age of europe? The problem arise when people want to impose their believes on others, let it be on other people in their own religion, on other religions, like what you are doing now
@@lotte5173 oh you made a spelling mistake. Religion is a problem for woman (yes christianity too is a big big problem for woman socially)
@@corinazzz1347
Can you tell me the problems of women caused by Christianity?
I began watching, not really knowing what I was watching. I was immediately entertained.
I instantly felt a connection with girls/ladies and the dog.
Then I was on a journey of sad, hopeful, tragic, optimistic, frustrating truths.
Thank you for a great film and message.
The animation is the truth of the many women's life around the world.
Well done.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I am a woman and no, that is a big lie. Not all women live like this, and less women who live in the first world because they are practically ultra privileged. Dont talk like if we all are a sectarian feminist group.
@@fer_nanda4509 it IS the truth that many women live like this around the world, shut up
But now, it is not only about woman ((
Kit Kat : many women yes but not every woman
@@fer_nanda4509 obviously doesn't talk about all women, you have eyes. Watch the animation
THIS WAS AMAZING!!! Such a creative way to approach this topic. I laughed, fell in love with these grannies and had my heart broken. We will arrive at a future where all women are born free, and works like this inch us ever closer. It IS coming!
Thank you so much for this thoughtful piece of art and best of luck to these young storytellers on their journey. Keep uplifting spirits!
W o n d e r f u l...🇬🇧🙋♀️
unique and powerful
2:05 😂”Give it to me you b*tch” HAHA I love these characters already
at the begining I was like "pfft imagine creating a law that forbids dancing" but at the end I was like "bruh💀"
I’m quite literally crying. This is spectacularly beautiful, congrats to the graduates you’ve done an excellent job conveying powerful emotions in such a short time.
very emotional and powerful
I lost it when they started singing "woof woof woof"
Wonderfully made animation, and it highlights the unfairness many women have to endure around the world in a charming way, awesome job!
Such a great piece of art. I really love the art style and how the paper cut feel was used in the environment and props. Most importantly, the story, highlighting issues this modern world is facing. Kudos on that! I really enjoyed this short!! Thank you all for telling such a beautiful story with these amazingly designed characters.
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebelión ( Albert Camus)! How beautiful!
I live for these animations.
Awesome
that's great! we need these kind of passions
One thing that makes the Simpsons great is that the message appears in the last few seconds of each episode.
The storyline here at first seems far too transparent, predictable and mundane--the dog becomes the third--but it is in the last few seconds that the unexpected and powerful ending pops up and carries a very poignant message for us all. Very well done!
Congratulations on winning the 2022 Taiwan International Animation Festival Student Short Film Grand Prix Award! Loved it. I'm a Malaysian studying in Taiwan.
Love from Taiwan and Malaysia.
this is both beautiful - and sad - the list at the end is so long, and often ridiculous - to my sisters whose rights and freedoms are denied, I send you love, strength and hope
hope is everything and courage as well
I thought I saw the twist coming, and it did, but then I didn't. Great work, beautiful storytelling. The characters were compelling in the shortest amount of time I thought it possible for me to fall in love. Well done. I wish I could see this done in a live action. I would absolutely attend.
Holy sheit, Marjane Satrapi was in this? She's a big time favorite writer of mine. I loved this short, and I got a tad bit emotional reading all the bs women can't do. The art was beautiful. I shared this with my aunts.
Wow. Even if we often hear how women of different countries are mistreated, have no rights, are killed, this little film hits in the face. I think it should be shown in schools, in the most countries as possible, awareness for the young generation, who might make a difference where we failed.
❤️ from Belgium.
Beautiful story and well told. Sooo many women are facing such challenges especially in extremist countries and realms. Great stuff to the creator. ❤️❤️❤️
3:12 In every group of three BFFs there is ALWAYS the short one who has the Baddest Temper🤣🤣🤣
Oh my gosh, this film was an emotional rollercoaster, and done so beautifully. INCREDIBLE animation, especially for an indie film! Really inspires me to push my own craft further. I love this.
Agree
agree
It's look like a theatre piece, with the setting changing eveytime. It's so good, with some humor even if it is a serious situation. I'm glad I have seen this, and I'm proud to know that the school from which these masterpieces come from is french
This was soo well done. From the animation and the style to the message about freedom.
It reminded me to a sequence from "The handmaids tale" where little by little woman started to lose their rights (first they couldn't have a bank account anymore, then they couldn't work because of a new law) and those "smaller"-in comparission-prohibitions against woman end up allowing that dystopian world you can see through the all show. It's from the season 1 episode 3.
This thesis is definitely amazing, can't believe graduates achieve this high level
This...I cannot find the words to praise this beautiful, quirky, funny and heartbreaking work of art.
I am so moved, as surely all those who had the chance to watch this splendid animation (and the music, oh...).
There seldom is a day where I don't think about women having to live this and similar realities. My heart is with you, I hope there will be hope of a better brighter day.
Love from Italy ♥️
Wow ! Magnifique, très inspiré, et puissant ! Mille bravo !
when our team watched this animation we figured out that this animation has a voice! a one voice that is talking enough loud so that us can hear it. all we should do as audiences is see and hear their story and their message. we hear you women and we are so proud of you for being such amazing people.The world need you. That's just the beginning and you know that there will be many obstacles but do not listen to the noises and push your stories and films
My suggestions might seem strange and awkward but in the entire history, changes had never been made by non violence, using catchy slogans and speeches.
One has to fight for their own rights!
And this ‘one’ comprises of half of the human's population.
Made the change before they change your mind to accept the prohibition!! 🤘🏼
"it's not from the smoke i swear" while coughing ahahah they're so funny even though this is so deep
This work is not just some art or story to use to pass the time or for entertainment. This work has a deep meaning and we need to make a difference. Don’t just say thank you for making this ask: “How can we improve to not make this a living fate to women anymore?” We need to stand up and speak on our rights. Though those women can’t do it now. How about we that aren’t in that country. How about we match for this women and demand rights for them. Please listen to them. It’s hard living like that all your life.
Anybody else from INDIA 🇮🇳
Orrrr it's only me...watching Gobelins amazing short films.. ❤️
An amazing little film. I loved the format & the story, it brings a serious issue to the attention of its its audience. I'm 60 now & have supported equality for women since i was 13 years old. Such a pity that at the start of the 21st century we are still fighting for equal rights. I often think that it's because some men are so frightened of losing power that they refuse to allow equality
Be a lady, sing alone and have dogs. Be a man and admire their happiness. My love to you, brave team.
Such an amazing piece of art! The concept is so unique, so deeply though, and so beautiful realized! Congratulations! My thoughts are with all girls and women who are not allowed to enjoy what makes like colorful.
I’ve come back to this short due to the recent protests in Iran, and to learn Marjane Satrapi was in the voice cast is amazing to me, I hope more people see this and spread awareness to the women still in need of their fundamental rights around the world!!!
It's beautiful, sad and humorous ... but what attracts me is the vocal harmony of the 3 sisters ... and to see one of her dead, it saddened me .. . it's a very musical ... very beautiful inspiration ... 🇭🇹🤩🇭🇹🤩🇭🇹🤩🇭🇹
The transitions made it look like it was a play in the theatre. Very well done
I am loving these Grandmas 💯🧡❤
amazig animation tackling issues faced in some countries, the animation was well done, the style was charming and it had humor. may this be seen by a smany people as possible.
This is so fantastic. Congratulations - hope more and more people see this and open their hearts to change the world.
As an Iranian, I acknowledge that this is the problem of women in my country. And for many years, the regime has been fighting many of the social activities of women.
As an animator, I appreciate the production team for this animation and the technique used. Thank you. From Melbourne
Magnifique, ça ma profondément touché, merci
Artistic perfection-visually, audibly, narratively and provocatively-thank you, really!
This was fantastic and moved me beyond words. A great job from everyone who worked on this film.
When I’ve watched it, I started crying 😭
me too!
Beautiful...
“Not Lively,
They had to die to live with their rights.”
This is absolutely fantastic‼ Great quality and storyboard.
Too bad it happens in Iran, Aghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and God knows how many other places :/
Belíssimo filme amei
Not Saudi arabia...
@@KenzieTawili especially Saudi Arabia, what the hell? 😂
@@littlepinkcactus You've clearly never been in saudi arabia LMAO
I love this soooo very much. It brought tears to eyes. Women of the world UNITE!!!!!!!! Fight for life and lives. ❤️
I loved this, the director is so brave
This animated short reminds me of how hugely happy I am to have found Gobelins! 💙 The way they made this short so entertaining and aesthetic but at the same time deeply moving and eye-opening is amazing! Thank you Gobelins!
Great work!! Touches the heart, makes you laugh and cry and leaves you back with a big message to think about. And I really appreciate that the scenes where build up like the scenery of a play!
Brilliant. Thank you for making this awesome Animation. 🥰
WOW! Such an amazing Animation!! You know our business tries to find inspiring filmmakers and I think you are for sure one of the bests!Bravo
"Sing alone" "Laugh Loudly" and "Dance" this breaks my heart. In what world are these hurting anyone? I may not understand the struggles these women go through, but if I were to lose these abilities I'd spiral into insanity.
Amazing animation and great story would have loved to see more tribulations of the grannies in a long movie 😍
I think I've rewatched this about 10 times now.
What a wonderful video!!! So real and so actually! 👏👏👏👏
Bravo! We love watching alumni work! Congratulations Feben Elias WOLDEHAWARIAT , Razahk ISSAKA and the whole team.
Thank you so much!
I love the way short movies tell deep stories!
Great art work!
Congratulations!
really a nice story! agree
Oh mon dieu... C'était juste épique. Tout est génial ! La musique, les personnages, le chien, les décors en carton, le kidnapping alien ! Je n'ai pas les mots pour dire à quel point celui là m'a emballé, j'ai simplement envie de le voir et le revoir ! Je ne m'attendais pas au texte à la fin, qui pourtant prenait sens, qui m'a frappé davantage et j'ai aimé encore plus tout ce que je venais de visionner. C'est sans doute la création la plus créative sur le sujet, tout est si parfaitement réalisé et captivant que j'en suis restée bouche bée jusqu'au générique. BRAVO !
Incredible. Inspiring. Beautiful. Timely. From Costa Rica, Teatro Abya Yala, my sincerest admiration
I loved this, it was both funny and moving. I loved the 3D and 2D animation together. All in all an excellent production 👍
3d animation is well done, music is good and best part is the flat background. Most funny thing is all incidents for selecting new mamber 😂..
This is absolutely Fantastic!!!!! what a great STORY!!!! very smart.
love this short and I hope to watch a feature film of it soon!
this short film deserves many Awards.
Its one of the best short films i'v ever seen
Et moi je remercie le ciel d'être née dans un pays qui me permet de faire tout çà et d'avoir conscience encore plus aujourd'hui grâce à ce petit film !! Merci pour votre courage de le dénoncer amen.
I have no words. This was incredible.
What a great film, great message and beautiful direction
The dog voice makes me laugh like never.
Thank you, it’s my voice! I’ll do a behind the scenes about it soon, follow @thesoloists_gobelins to see it!
@@artofcallisto6699 Have you take a look at my new series, wealth in the blood? I'm learning.
I`m touched. It illustrated every single moment of an Iranian woman's life. I really like to work on something like this for my animation thesis, but since I still live in this country it`s even forbidden to make such animations about women. I wish I could have studied animation in Gobelins too.
this is SO good! congratulations everyone!
The alien abduction was unexpected. I loved that at the end they no linger cared and escaped and wore what they wanted.
I was laughing and crying at the same time when I saw it. wonderful
I love this short film so much!❤
I love the small and minute details you give. ❤
I love how you're talking about social problems by art❤
I love how beautifully you made this ❤
Thank you! For giving us an wonderful experience and an excellent message.
This short film is talking about soloist sisters in a village, where there is many ridiculous laws women should follow. At first, you can see some boards. Not allowing dancing, singing, bananas,cycling and many more. They even have to cover their whole body when they go out. They can't wear what they want, what they like.

This is a beautiful piece. After watching it, my son and I discussed the issue of how women are treated worldwide.
La única forma de lidiar con un mundo no libre es volverse tan absolutamente libre que su misma existencia sea un acto de rebelión. Albert CAMUS
Maravilla. Maravilla. Me he reído y me ha emocionado y me ha hecho reflexionar mucho. Estas no son "leyes ridículas" en una villa perdida en algún lugar del mundo, estas son leyes que en muchos países existen aún. Mis aplausos para los creadores y sigamos luchando por igualdad de Derechos en todos los países del mundo. Saludos desde Barcelona.
Я очень люблю вашу студию! Рад , что вы существуете!
Incredible. Masterpiece . Really proud . Appreciate for storytelling women’s problems in society like iran . And thank you for using iranian elements all over the movie , it was like home for me . My poor home 💔
That was beautiful Phoebe. Well done. Proud of you.
This is pure genius, joy, heartbreak and ultimately right on the mark. Thank you for bring this to us.
Was reminded of Persepolis till I saw Marjane Satrapi voicing one of the characters. Good job Gobelins!!
Yes, Yes and YES!!!! All of it was excellent and what a way to show injustice without being too heavy. You guys are amazing!!
That was so beautifully made. Thanks it made me smile🤗🤗🤗
Juste magnifique, peu de mots pour décrire cet horrible état de fait : les femmes sont toujours et encore maltraitées, oubliées, spoliées, assassinées...!!!!
FUNNY BUT AT THE SAME TIME DEEP! LOVE IT!! 👏👏💕
Today I’m meeting my friends to celebrate my birthday. I think I’ll order a cocktail in public, sing alone, dance, give someone hell, maybe even eat a cucumber on tv - just because I can!
incroyable, le meilleur court métrage des gobelins d'après moi
What an impact this makes.i loved it.brilliant work done by all involved.the message was clear.
You go girls!!!!
excellent !!!! d'autant plus en ce moment
LMAO the way they speak
"What the hell is wrong with dancing?"
"Give it you little bitch!"
