The director for this delicious short, Christine Rabette, is French but lives in Brussel. In this short she reminds us laugh's spreading power and you should watch that movie when in a bad mood, for example because you anticipate a long time spent in the subway

Now, finally, I let you enjoy the movie which you can also find on the net under the title "Bodhisattva in metro":

Very simple but efficient. I do hope this guy stops by my train soon !

4/6 from me !
