The Jullien Brothers has released an animation to mark International Women’s Day. The short shows the story of a woman’s life through the puberty milestone of shaving her armpits to meeting her partner, having a family, relationship breakdown and death. There are a few constants, like her red hair and the red hair of her daughter, whose life seems to mirror that of her mother. It’s a sad story, thanks to the music – The Coward’s, Adieu – for which the animation provides the music video.
