A mostly-dialogue-free collection of new animated short films showing a wide variety of styles and stories from around the world.

A short film that poetically examines coping with the loss of a parent as Harvey candidly recalls the spring day when his world turned upside down. Filled with original little touches and told through the eyes of a child with an overflowing imagination, this brilliant work by Janice Nadeau is suprisingly peaceful and lovely.
