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 sold a vaginal rejuvenating surgery, Bing, a feisty former dancer in her 50s, begins to reflect on her age, desires, and ways to find joy.
