"Miss Lovely"

FAT, BALD, SHORT MAN/GORDO, CALVO Y BAJITO (dir. Carlos Osuna, Colombia). There is no International Sales Agent.  This film which I first saw as a work in progress in San Sebastian tells a wonderful emotionally fulfilling story of a fat, bald, short man using the simplest animated drawings.  Whoever sees it loves it as you can see from its very long list of showcases:
