Alternate Worlds
Gaze into different dimensions where reality is not what it seems.
Worst. Experience. Ever.
Maya's days working at a small shop take a surreal turn when her boss makes a bombshell revelation. As unsettling truths begin to surface, Maya discovers her supposedly ordinary life might be an elaborate fabrication. In this darkly comic tale, a simple confession spirals into an existential crisis.
Strangers Like Us
In their early 30s, Laura and Elias settle into a new suburbian life by inviting another couple over for dinner. When the night gradually turns into an evening full of mysteriously surreal events, Laura feels like a stranger in her own life.
Skroll
Humans and some kind of gnomes have posted videos on social media platforms in their animated dimension. This film is a short compilation of these clips. An animated random flow of social media content that really "will surprise you" and is worth to "watch till the end." But number three will not shock you.
Pinion
In a bleak corporate-run world, a caged man faces relentless questioning, his reality unraveling.
Goodbye Sun
Eleven-year-old Luna lives with her big brother, Julien, and her two adoptive fathers. It's the end of summer and the heat is stifling as they impatiently await the solar eclipse that everyone has been talking about. The sun disappears behind the moon but it does not reappear.
Two People Exchanging Saliva
In a farcical world where kissing is punishable by death, a personal shopper threatens the status quo.
