The director is an Iranian woman and I'm so proud of her for speaking about the problems that us Iranian women and other women in similar situations have in such a fantastic and unique way. I hope this animation gets the attention it deserves and I wish all women who are imprisoned by rules and women who don't have control over their own life and body get the freedom they deserve.

I feel like most of this year's thesis films are related to social problems or worldwide challenges. They're so deep, while with good storytellings. Incredible works!

My mum had a gorgeous voice. She was not allowed to sing in public in Iran due to the rigid rules in Iran against women . She was just singing for my father and her children. She passed away a few years ago and we buried her with all of her talents and dreams that she had to perform in public… it never happened. I’m so Sorry mum . Rest in peace

go badass grandmas!!! and i gotta say, the 2d cardboard style of the environment is so creative and well done! i always look forward to gobelin's releases, bravo to this team!!

This moved me. I was drawn to the colorful paper-like pop-up art style and the implications of mystery at the start, then I was surprised by the contrasted tones of comedy fused with seriousness. Then by the end, the truth hit me. This is a wonderful way to spread awareness. A comedic, colorful, captivating film with easily lovable characters, and then, the audience is delivered with a truth that needs to be heard. Bravo.

I came across this short by accident and let me tell you that this is very well describing the situation and how it is to live in Iran. I was born in Iran and spent part of my early adulthood there. The rules are made on the go and how it is fitted to the Islamic government. Sometimes people forget that it is only recent (last 40 years) that Iran has had the face of an Islamic extremist country to the outside world. Before that they had as much not less freedom like any other average country in the world. But now it is what it is and almost 3 generations passed and they are fighting the way they can by for example owning a dog in private and or singing as an underground singer or ride a bicycle in the remote areas. I am just amazed and happy to see this short getting attention here …

The mix of the 3d and the 2d environment was perfect.

Okay so now Gobelin students are putting out Pixar-quality films !?!?! Congratulations to everyone involved in this short film, it's incredible !

I had no idea how suffocating communities/counties/cultures are for women. This brilliant, creative, shocking, inspirational short film will educate the world. Well done.

i feel for iranian women, as someone who lives right next to that country, we get news now and then and it breaks my heart, hope one day women won't have these problems

this was incredible! and we NEED a full version of the song!!!

2:05 😂”Give it to me you b*tch” HAHA I love these characters already

I began watching, not really knowing what I was watching. I was immediately entertained. I instantly felt a connection with girls/ladies and the dog. Then I was on a journey of sad, hopeful, tragic, optimistic, frustrating truths. Thank you for a great film and message.

at the begining I was like "pfft imagine creating a law that forbids dancing" but at the end I was like "bruh💀"

The animation is the truth of the many women's life around the world. Well done.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I lost it when they started singing "woof woof woof" Wonderfully made animation, and it highlights the unfairness many women have to endure around the world in a charming way, awesome job!

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebelión ( Albert Camus)! How beautiful!

I live for these animations.

Anybody else from INDIA 🇮🇳 Orrrr it's only me...watching Gobelins amazing short films.. ❤️

I’m quite literally crying. This is spectacularly beautiful, congrats to the graduates you’ve done an excellent job conveying powerful emotions in such a short time.

Wow. Even if we often hear how women of different countries are mistreated, have no rights, are killed, this little film hits in the face. I think it should be shown in schools, in the most countries as possible, awareness for the young generation, who might make a difference where we failed. ❤️ from Belgium.

One thing that makes the Simpsons great is that the message appears in the last few seconds of each episode. The storyline here at first seems far too transparent, predictable and mundane--the dog becomes the third--but it is in the last few seconds that the unexpected and powerful ending pops up and carries a very poignant message for us all. Very well done!

THIS WAS AMAZING!!! Such a creative way to approach this topic. I laughed, fell in love with these grannies and had my heart broken. We will arrive at a future where all women are born free, and works like this inch us ever closer. It IS coming! Thank you so much for this thoughtful piece of art and best of luck to these young storytellers on their journey. Keep uplifting spirits!

Beautiful story and well told. Sooo many women are facing such challenges especially in extremist countries and realms. Great stuff to the creator. ❤️❤️❤️

this is both beautiful - and sad - the list at the end is so long, and often ridiculous - to my sisters whose rights and freedoms are denied, I send you love, strength and hope

Such a great piece of art. I really love the art style and how the paper cut feel was used in the environment and props. Most importantly, the story, highlighting issues this modern world is facing. Kudos on that! I really enjoyed this short!! Thank you all for telling such a beautiful story with these amazingly designed characters.

3:12 In every group of three BFFs there is ALWAYS the short one who has the Baddest Temper🤣🤣🤣

Be a lady, sing alone and have dogs. Be a man and admire their happiness. My love to you, brave team.

Congratulations on winning the 2022 Taiwan International Animation Festival Student Short Film Grand Prix Award! Loved it. I'm a Malaysian studying in Taiwan. Love from Taiwan and Malaysia.

Holy sheit, Marjane Satrapi was in this? She's a big time favorite writer of mine. I loved this short, and I got a tad bit emotional reading all the bs women can't do. The art was beautiful. I shared this with my aunts.

My suggestions might seem strange and awkward but in the entire history, changes had never been made by non violence, using catchy slogans and speeches. One has to fight for their own rights! And this ‘one’ comprises of half of the human's population. Made the change before they change your mind to accept the prohibition!! 🤘🏼

when our team watched this animation we figured out that this animation has a voice! a one voice that is talking enough loud so that us can hear it. all we should do as audiences is see and hear their story and their message. we hear you women and we are so proud of you for being such amazing people.The world need you. That's just the beginning and you know that there will be many obstacles but do not listen to the noises and push your stories and films

I thought I saw the twist coming, and it did, but then I didn't. Great work, beautiful storytelling. The characters were compelling in the shortest amount of time I thought it possible for me to fall in love. Well done. I wish I could see this done in a live action. I would absolutely attend.

"it's not from the smoke i swear" while coughing ahahah they're so funny even though this is so deep

I am loving these Grandmas 💯🧡❤

This work is not just some art or story to use to pass the time or for entertainment. This work has a deep meaning and we need to make a difference. Don’t just say thank you for making this ask: “How can we improve to not make this a living fate to women anymore?” We need to stand up and speak on our rights. Though those women can’t do it now. How about we that aren’t in that country. How about we match for this women and demand rights for them. Please listen to them. It’s hard living like that all your life.

When I’ve watched it, I started crying 😭

It's look like a theatre piece, with the setting changing eveytime. It's so good, with some humor even if it is a serious situation. I'm glad I have seen this, and I'm proud to know that the school from which these masterpieces come from is french

I’ve come back to this short due to the recent protests in Iran, and to learn Marjane Satrapi was in the voice cast is amazing to me, I hope more people see this and spread awareness to the women still in need of their fundamental rights around the world!!!

It's beautiful, sad and humorous ... but what attracts me is the vocal harmony of the 3 sisters ... and to see one of her dead, it saddened me .. . it's a very musical ... very beautiful inspiration ... 🇭🇹🤩🇭🇹🤩🇭🇹🤩🇭🇹

"Sing alone" "Laugh Loudly" and "Dance" this breaks my heart. In what world are these hurting anyone? I may not understand the struggles these women go through, but if I were to lose these abilities I'd spiral into insanity.

As an Iranian, I acknowledge that this is the problem of women in my country. And for many years, the regime has been fighting many of the social activities of women. As an animator, I appreciate the production team for this animation and the technique used. Thank you. From Melbourne

La única forma de lidiar con un mundo no libre es volverse tan absolutamente libre que su misma existencia sea un acto de rebelión. Albert CAMUS

Oh my gosh, this film was an emotional rollercoaster, and done so beautifully. INCREDIBLE animation, especially for an indie film! Really inspires me to push my own craft further. I love this.

This was soo well done. From the animation and the style to the message about freedom. It reminded me to a sequence from "The handmaids tale" where little by little woman started to lose their rights (first they couldn't have a bank account anymore, then they couldn't work because of a new law) and those "smaller"-in comparission-prohibitions against woman end up allowing that dystopian world you can see through the all show. It's from the season 1 episode 3. This thesis is definitely amazing, can't believe graduates achieve this high level

I loved this, the director is so brave

This...I cannot find the words to praise this beautiful, quirky, funny and heartbreaking work of art. I am so moved, as surely all those who had the chance to watch this splendid animation (and the music, oh...). There seldom is a day where I don't think about women having to live this and similar realities. My heart is with you, I hope there will be hope of a better brighter day. Love from Italy ♥️

The transitions made it look like it was a play in the theatre. Very well done

I think I've rewatched this about 10 times now.

Magnifique, ça ma profondément touché, merci

Beautiful... “Not Lively, They had to die to live with their rights.”

The dog voice makes me laugh like never.

Wow ! Magnifique, très inspiré, et puissant ! Mille bravo !

The alien abduction was unexpected. I loved that at the end they no linger cared and escaped and wore what they wanted.

This is absolutely fantastic‼ Great quality and storyboard. Too bad it happens in Iran, Aghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and God knows how many other places :/

An amazing little film. I loved the format & the story, it brings a serious issue to the attention of its its audience. I'm 60 now & have supported equality for women since i was 13 years old. Such a pity that at the start of the 21st century we are still fighting for equal rights. I often think that it's because some men are so frightened of losing power that they refuse to allow equality

I love this soooo very much. It brought tears to eyes. Women of the world UNITE!!!!!!!! Fight for life and lives. ❤️

All of these Grandmas remind me of *my* Grand-Grand. I love all of them.

Artistic perfection-visually, audibly, narratively and provocatively-thank you, really!

You go girls!!!!

Brilliant. Thank you for making this awesome Animation. 🥰

LMAO the way they speak "What the hell is wrong with dancing?" "Give it you little bitch!"

What a wonderful video!!! So real and so actually! 👏👏👏👏

Amazing animation and great story would have loved to see more tribulations of the grannies in a long movie 😍

This is so fantastic. Congratulations - hope more and more people see this and open their hearts to change the world.

Such an amazing piece of art! The concept is so unique, so deeply though, and so beautiful realized! Congratulations! My thoughts are with all girls and women who are not allowed to enjoy what makes like colorful.

WOW! Such an amazing Animation!! You know our business tries to find inspiring filmmakers and I think you are for sure one of the bests!Bravo

I have no words. This was incredible.

Its one of the best short films i'v ever seen

Today I’m meeting my friends to celebrate my birthday. I think I’ll order a cocktail in public, sing alone, dance, give someone hell, maybe even eat a cucumber on tv - just because I can!

This animated short reminds me of how hugely happy I am to have found Gobelins! 💙 The way they made this short so entertaining and aesthetic but at the same time deeply moving and eye-opening is amazing! Thank you Gobelins!

This was fantastic and moved me beyond words. A great job from everyone who worked on this film.

this is SO good! congratulations everyone!

It would seem that the basic aim of zealots is to eliminate joy. Nicely done.

I`m touched. It illustrated every single moment of an Iranian woman's life. I really like to work on something like this for my animation thesis, but since I still live in this country it`s even forbidden to make such animations about women. I wish I could have studied animation in Gobelins too.

Я очень люблю вашу студию! Рад , что вы существуете!

3d animation is well done, music is good and best part is the flat background. Most funny thing is all incidents for selecting new mamber 😂..

I love the way short movies tell deep stories! Great art work! Congratulations!

Et moi je remercie le ciel d'être née dans un pays qui me permet de faire tout çà et d'avoir conscience encore plus aujourd'hui grâce à ce petit film !! Merci pour votre courage de le dénoncer amen.

Honestly though, forbidding anything should be the only thing forbidden.

Incredible. Inspiring. Beautiful. Timely. From Costa Rica, Teatro Abya Yala, my sincerest admiration

Bravo! We love watching alumni work! Congratulations Feben Elias WOLDEHAWARIAT , Razahk ISSAKA and the whole team.

Was reminded of Persepolis till I saw Marjane Satrapi voicing one of the characters. Good job Gobelins!!

FUNNY BUT AT THE SAME TIME DEEP! LOVE IT!! 👏👏💕

Juste magnifique, peu de mots pour décrire cet horrible état de fait : les femmes sont toujours et encore maltraitées, oubliées, spoliées, assassinées...!!!!

amazig animation tackling issues faced in some countries, the animation was well done, the style was charming and it had humor. may this be seen by a smany people as possible.

This is a beautiful piece. After watching it, my son and I discussed the issue of how women are treated worldwide.

This is absolutely Fantastic!!!!! what a great STORY!!!! very smart. love this short and I hope to watch a feature film of it soon! this short film deserves many Awards.

So beautiful and powerful. Thank you.🌸

It looks funny enough even in an animation film but knowing these stupid rules are real....our world is so fucked up Great work as always gobelins students!!

What a great film, great message and beautiful direction

Go ladies!!! We need more such works of art.

That was beautiful Phoebe. Well done. Proud of you.

Great work!! Touches the heart, makes you laugh and cry and leaves you back with a big message to think about. And I really appreciate that the scenes where build up like the scenery of a play!

Thanks so much for your fabulous strength, sisters. Love from Spain 💜

Thank You💖🧡💛💚💙💜
