The Answer is a short animation that explores the layered nature of love, fear, and human connection. Set to an original score by Mathias Lacroix, the film follows a character caught in the emotional pause between the words, “Will you marry me?” It is in this moment of uncertainty that we confront the complexity of companionship, where longing meets hesitation, and love meets vulnerability.
Love is universal, and so are the anxieties that come with it: fear of loss, the ache of loneliness, the hope for intimacy. By removing markers of gender, The Answer foregrounds the emotional truth of the experience over its external framing.
Blending music and animation into a single emotional thread, the short navigates the highs and lows of connection with tenderness and introspection. The Answer reminds us that even our most personal fears are shared by others and that empathy can begin in the quietest of questions.
