Paperman

AnimationComedyFamilyRomance7 min

After a chance meeting on a commuter train, a shy office worker spots the same woman again across neighboring skyscrapers and turns a stack of paper into a stream of improvised messages. John Kahrs voices the clerk, whose careful routine gives way to a paper-airplane campaign shaped by wind, timing, and a string of near-misses. Kari Wahlgren is the stranger he can see but not quite reach, in a black-and-white cityscape animated with almost no dialogue and built around glances, office windows, and the scramble to reconnect before the moment passes.
