Carlotta's Face

Valentin Riedl & Frédéric Schuld · Germany · Documentary / Drama / Animation · 5 min · 16K views

Directed by Valentin Riedl, Frédéric Schuld · 2018

Carlotta grew up unable to recognise faces, even her own, until drawing self-portraits gave her a way to finally see herself.

A beautifully animated true story that makes a baffling neurological condition instantly relatable.

Through art, Carlotta overcomes a rare brain condition that prevents her from recognizing faces.
