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. 

After being dead for over 200 years, Ourika’s soul is awoken inside of a barren purgatory, where she must see her true self to be set free.
