I refuse to play the role of a lamp

Using animation techniques coordinated by the N.A.D.A team of designers from PUC-RJ. A person talks about his routine, his thoughts, while everyday objects around him come to life. He repeats his day-to-day routine until the moment when he realizes that he wakes up like a lamp, a decorative piece in the landscape. From there on he realizes that others like himself dress up as lamps in their lives. He reaches the limit of this apathetic role for being one more passive lampshade. He calls all for the indignant lampshade march. A march in which the most surreal part is himself.
