People’s over-preoccupation with perceived or slight flaws in their appearance can cause great distress. We see the animals in Everybody with the same hang-ups, debating their unhappiness with their own bodies and discussing possible surgical options. Jessie Mott’s very unique drawing style lends these creatures a disturbingly odd aura. A film about perception of others and oneself, desire, beauty, fear and shame.
