Stick It

film by American writer and director Don Hertzfeldt. Hertzfeldt is an award winning cult animator who combined three of his earlier short films, seamlessly into one longer film. It’s Such a Beautiful Day tells the discombobulating story of Bill, a stick figure man suffering from an unnamed illness.

Hinton, it seems that friends are always supporting and/or defending each other in all ways, taking blame, lying and being extremely supportive.
