Basketball Day is a 2D animation short that tells the story of a basketball-loving boy who, on a quiet day while playing, gets his ball stuck in the hoop and must do everything he can to retrieve it, even if it causes collateral damage.

An absurd comedy with touches of realism, it portrays what a child might feel when their ball is trapped and they can’t get it back.

Logline

In his attempt to retrieve his basketball, an imaginative and creative boy sets off a chain of increasingly chaotic yet amusing events. Along the way, he realizes that the hard part isn’t scoring, but getting his ball back without getting into even more trouble.

Sinopsis

An energetic and somewhat clumsy boy just wants to do what he loves most: play basketball. But when his ball gets stuck in the hoop, his fun day of play turns into a series of increasingly chaotic attempts to retrieve it—from poorly thrown stones and unfortunate birds to mischievous branches… Each effort only makes things worse, leaving an old man unconscious and involving an ambulance.

Yet the boy doesn’t give up, because sometimes achieving what we want means failing many times and giving it our all, even if it causes collateral damage.

An animated comedy without dialogue, featuring physical humor and conveying a message of perseverance, even when everything seems impossible and ridiculous.
