Can we be born guilty? In a space halfway between animation and whispered confession, this coming-of-age melodrama seeks to discover the origin of a constant feeling of guilt. Starting from the account of a medical condition, Farah Hasanbegović uses animation to search for the origin of the elements of the story we tell ourselves about our life. Is feeling guilty the same as being guilty? Through eloquent pencil strokes, Ribs is a sensorial mediation on the material dimension of our feelings. It is an exploration of what it means to think that there is something fundamentally broken in you and a speculative proposal for how to live with it.
