Whack!!
Whack !! is the representation of the following situation: two bodies colliding in space. The strategies are eclectic and funny but the commitment in the effort is always serious, brushing even irrational. Preventing the other, constrain him, forcing him to deploy ingenious and diplomatic maneuvers are all possible under the innocent gaze of a child, witnessing the endurance and the ability of man to face what an obstacle, as well as the absurdity of the need to surpass the other.
