A couple of songs away

This seemingly random block of ten shorts has a unifying thread among them: They stir up immense joy and deep reflection. Ever wonder how Carens perceive the world? What is the future of our malls? Should professors invest in security systems? Why shouldn’t men just dance? And does art inspire more art? While we can't claim to have definitive answers, these films might help you find answers. Or maybe more questions. Watch and feel some feels.

During her search for food and shelter in a dystopian world, a lonely girl faces nothing but rejection and indifference from its self-centered inhabitants who live isolated from each other. In her fearful interactions with the world, she realizes that she is part of the problem and in order to connect, she must overcome her own fears and open up her heart to give the world that which she herself seeks.
