Mantis Boy
Mantis Boy is a short film that serves as a prelude to Boy Soul Man Heart. It follows 14-year-old Mathias, who, struggling with trauma, retreats into a childhood memory of learning to ride a bicycle with his mother, Belinda. As she removes his training wheels, she teaches him resilience and hope, reassuring him that falling isn't failure. The film contrasts Mathias's painful present with the warmth of his past, using vibrant animation to show his joy and the symbolic mantis of encouragement. Mantis Boy explores love, resilience, and the lasting impact of memories, highlighting how embracing both light and darkness can heal and empower.
