Hasta La Motion!

‘Gerascophobia’ is about a boy called ‘Mo’ who has fears for growing up and ageing. The little boy does many odd things to avoid growing up. The animation describes his mundane life moments, shows his fears of separation, mortality, taking responsibility, and standing out as an independent individual.
