Russian animator Varya Yakovleva’s film Oneluv has been longlisted for the Oscars, the SHAR animation film school-studio reported.

The film tells “about a girl who, left alone with uninvited, aggressive guests in her own home, turns from a victim into a predator and fights back against her offenders.”
