‘Once there was this boy who fancied me…’
1Minute Nature is a Dutch series of short vignettes in which children from the Netherlands reflect on how they experience nature. In this episode, 11-year-old Meike recounts how she snubbed a tiresome admirer in her class. Inventively pairing still photography with two-dimensional animation, Flirting packs a universal and somewhat heartbreaking punch into just over a minute.
