Lonely is the first animated short film from Brazilian director Filipe Consoni.

It follows the story of a nameless character struggling through her day-to-day feelings of loneliness and isolation with a dreamlike solitude that draws one in. As she’s on the edge of giving up, something unexpected happens.

The film gradually unveils a variety of landscapes and situations that feel surreal, abstract, and even unsettling. It encourages viewers to come away with their own interpretation of the unfolding story, but a clear outcome: help is always within arm’s reach.
By sparking conversations around mental health and encouraging people to seek support, "Lonely" is a powerful reminder that no one is ever truly alone, and there is always someone out there who cares and wants to help.
