Short summary

This humorous animated short offers one possible answer to the philosophical question: what would life be like if I had never lived? The first half of the film follows a man from his conception to his funeral, focusing on the effect his life has on the people and events around him. The second half looks again at the same people and events, except now the man is not there--he had never been born. The differences will surprise you!

    Although there will always be comparisons abound (Its a Wonderful Life, Butterfly Effect) Guido Manuli's film +1-1 offers a very simple and off beat approach to the whole notion that one persons worth to the world in their existence can matter greatly in how the world evolves and changes. About the only difference I can see between Guido's film and a film like Its a Wonderful Life, is that the world was no better or worse off without the main character but rather as is stated at the very end, different. If one historical figure or another hadn't existed then someone else might have taken said figures role in history. the short was very entertaining nonethless and had a very catchy soundtrack that worked well with the prgressive nature of the film. overall I'd rate it a 7.5 out of 10.
