The animated film, “Days that were Filled with Sense by Fear”, deals with the story of a classic love triangle, using the style and the means of the film noir. The main characters of this love story are the ultra-rich mafioso, Mr. Butter, his beautiful wife, Olga, and his servant or „his right hand”, Pedro. “The bitterness and the revenge of the injured husband is the devil’s work, Pedro! The trap is set… And you are sitting in the middle of it!” says Mr. Butter in a phone message at the beginning of the film. Olga and Pedro have to escape from the revenge of the husband. Their surreal adventures end in a car-crash, and finally are taken back to Mr. Butter’s villa. Olga and Pedro are exposed to the anger of the cheated husband. They are both punished, but in a special way…

The film is based on the well-known short story 'Oil of Dog'. The rough and simple chalk animation technique is match for the absurd and surrealistic style of the story. The line-drawing character representation over a black background is in the flavour of film noir. This is the story of Boffer Bings, who lives in a village where his father manages a prosperous business producing dog-oil. Boffer Bings not only assists his father in procuring dogs for distill, but also helps to carry away the debris of his mother's studio, where she disposes of unwelcome babes. Martin is accomplished in his jobs, until his accidental invention steers the family business into an economic boom. Tragedy is inevitable.
