Otto is a pictogram in the world of infographics. The conflict begins when Otto tries to drink a cup of coffee. The coffee is statistically half a cup, but the coffee is leaking, half cups can't hold coffee. And he wants to get more than the statistical average of coffee that people drink. Increasingly, he acts against the statistics. Finally, he realises that infographics are a matter of manipulation. He sabotages the statistics and gets his coffee. The story is told through animated isographic images. It refers to a current trend of using illustrative infographics as an end in themselves, forgetting their origins in education. The story of Otto who doesn't want to follow the rules in his infographic world.
