The various facets of transformation are highlighted in each of these short films, which mutate gradually in both subject and tone. Through investigating metaphysical time-traveling subjects to fantastical part-human, part-objects, these films expertly probe our connections to history, gender, sex and even our very humanness. 

Eleven-year-old Mai turns into a feather duster at her baby brother's first birthday party, soon after learning her parents only ever wanted a boy.
