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. 

In an alternate world where having sex means swapping bodies with the other person, a young woman struggles to be herself, defying her small conservative community where swapping is taboo.
