The film revolves around Edmond, a small quiet man who is not like everybody else\u2014and he is very well aware of it.

The film was co-produced by Papy3D Productions, the National Film Board of Canada, and Arte France with support from Centre national du cin\u00e9ma et de l&#8217;image anim\u00e9e, CNC (Nouvelles technologies en production), Procirep, and Ville de Paris.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/97122568\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Edmond&#8217;s character holds the foundation of the whole film. Narrated through the accounts of people around him, the creator gives the audience a 360-degree view of the whole narrative\u2014from the point of view of Edmond and others. As the film slips into a melancholic journey, it blossoms into a story of finding your true nature and letting go of things\u2014as steady as they may be. It&#8217;s a story of a character who, little by little, embraces his uniqueness even though it deviates from society&#8217;s standards of being &#8220;normal&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/edmondwasadonkey.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"84097\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/index.php\/2014\/07\/15\/edmond-was-a-donkey\/edmondwasadonkey\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/edmondwasadonkey.png?fit=600%2C292&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,292\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"edmondwasadonkey\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/edmondwasadonkey.png?fit=600%2C292&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-84097\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/edmondwasadonkey.png?resize=600%2C292\" alt=\"edmondwasadonkey\" width=\"600\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/edmondwasadonkey.png?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/edmondwasadonkey.png?resize=200%2C97&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.frostclick.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/edmondwasadonkey.png?resize=300%2C146&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Scene after scene, the film makes the audience realize that it serves something bigger than calculated film making.
