What would your life like be if your head was facing the other way? Sure it'd be handy in some instances, like seeing if someone is following you or talking behind your back (also, see below), but it would certainly make your life pretty eventful.

Cúilín Dualach is a 12 minute animated short film, produced in 2004 by Cartoon Saloon and Léirithe Sónta.. It was based on a short story by Jackie Mac Donncha .

Cartoon Saloon began as an informal partnership between a group of animators brought together by Paul Young and Tomm Moore in 1999. Since then it has grown into an award winning animation and illustration studio. Here's the trailer and if you're hooked, as I'm sure you will be, you can see the whole short film here.
