More about The Windshield Wiper
Inside a café, after lunch and while smoking a whole pack of cigarettes, a middle-aged man asks himself and the audience an ambitious question: What is Love? A collection of vignettes and situations will lead the man to the desired conclusion. Presented by Pastel, Leo Sanchez Studio and Pinkman.tv, the film made its world premiere as part of the Cannes Film Festival’s Director’s Fortnight. The film was written, designed and directed by three-time Emmy winner Alberto Mielgo (Love Death + Robots’ The Witness, Tron: Uprising) and produced by Mielgo and veteran character designer Leo Sanchez (The Croods: A New Age, Over the Moon, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, Tangled).
