The Man with the Beautiful Eyes

A gang of kids find a strange house with an overgrown garden where they play. Only once do they meet the man who lives there, a dead-beat alcoholic with a free and easy spirit who welcomes them. The children see him as a romantic character in stark contrast to their neurotically house proud parents. A collaboration between Animator Jonathan Hodgson and Illustrator Jonny Hannah.
