“This amazing six-minute animation by Remy Schaepman will not only amaze you with its artistic excellence, but will stimulate your thinking in a deep and meaningful way.” – John Priddy

We are proud to present the first film of the Windrider Summer Series – the international-award-winning animated short: A Sheep on the Roof (Quidam Dégomme), by French filmmaker Rémy Schaepman, who offers his exposé on the paradox between the envy of change and the fear of novelty — and the cowardice that may result from the latter.

In Paris, a pessimistic man, named Edgar, undergoes the infernal and repetitive ordinariness of his daily life. One day, a sheep lands on the roof opposite his flat. From then on, and in parallel with the more and more absurd activities of the sheep, the routine of Edgar turns into a psychedelic experience based on transformations, animal metamorphosis and other more and more spectacular changes. At first intrigued by this new existence, Edgar eventually becomes afraid in front of this hallucinatory and unorthodox crescendo giving rhythm, from now on, to his life. He decides, then, to make the sheep disappear. With a catapult, he shoots at the animal which falls behind the roof with all its eccentric installations. Edgar is relieved, he recovers the normal and monotonous pace of his day-to-day-existence.
