Eastern European Animation: 'Lavatory Lovestory'

So I ran into this 10-minute video clip of Lavatory Lovestory on the Chinese video site Youku. The premise of the story is quite interesting. An unassuming lavatory lady of a men's washroom (the kind you have to pay to get in) dreams of being in love. She sees many men pass her by everyday and one day she finds flowers in her money jar. She puzzles over who her secret admirer may be...

It's quite an interesting and unique piece. I like the simple black and white which is set in contrast against the colours of the flowers the lavatory lady receives - it's an effective graphical representation of the idea that love enlivens the monotony of life. Do please check it out if you have time.
