A room, a fly, a burping houseplant. And the journey begins. Breakfast for One does not only take us on a trip through psychedelic digestion systems, delusion and fantasy: The mixed media animation makes us also travel though different techniques and styles of animating film. Where will this voyage through colours and sound take us?...It’s not easy to be a fly!
