Synopsis

Gilbert and Sullivan are two inhabitants of a small archipelago in the middle of the ocean where its residents live in floating houses with a small dock each. Sullivan is a musician and plays the fiscorn. Gilbert is the postman of the archipelago. One morning, during the delivery, Gilbert feels a special attraction for one of the packages he must deliver. This is a package destined for his neighbor Sullivan. Inexplicably, that morning, Gilbert shirks his duty and decides not to deliver the box to its recipient. That decision will change the course of their friendship forever.

Director's bio:
Arturo Lacal from Valencia, Alex Salu from Gijón and Jordi Jiménez from Girona are the co-directors of "Gilbert," their joint debut film. The three met in a stop-motion animation course and from there they created the short film "Haiku," which later inspired "Gilbert." Individually, they have experience and training in visual arts (in addition to stop-motion) in painting, illustration, drawing, set design, post-production, editing, and graphic design. Arturo is responsible for animation, Alex for art, and Jordi for character design.
