How can a movie tell its story in a plausible and emotional way, despite the absence of every type of facial expression? This topic is investigated in practice through the use of a 2D animated short movie. In the theoretical part of this thesis, historical and dramaturgic aspects are examined; in the process a detailed interview with Alvaro Gaivoto, a veteran of classic animation movies, forms the foundation for further reflections.
