The story of a man from childhood to adulthood: home, school, university, movies, the factory, all those “boxes” that enclose his life, with the increasingly fewer happy moments as the frenzy takes over. Life in a Tin represents the stress of modern life as depicted by Bozzetto with his essential and childlike animation style, warm colors, and very stylized lines.
