Six animated shorts about discrimination and being different. “Daydream” talks about dealing with people with disability. It homes in on the daily life of a father with a daughter whose hands and feet are deformed. “Animal Farm” relies on the rough-and-ready feel of stop-motion clay animation to create a satire of bullying and mob dynamics. “At Her House” paints a devastating picture of gender inequality within a marriage. “Flesh and Bone” gently pillories superficiality and the obsession with outward appearance. “Bicycle Trip” focuses on the discrimination experienced by foreign workers in Korea. “Be a Human Being” looks at the way young Koreans are barely treated as human beings before they get to university.

Harvesting the Light: The Graves of Diaspora is a work in remembrance and re-animating the significance of the burial place of people by synthesizing photos of different sources. The photo of two North Korean girls offers a template of harvesting light over the photosynthesis of miners of the colonial times and migrant of Koryo people. The work is inspired by the quantum biology to evoke the political ecology of archival images.

"The Third Wish” (AN Dong-hui, RYU Jeong-wu). A fairy godmother appears before a visually impaired young woman to grant her three wishes. "Ajukari” (HONG Deok-pyo) is a street-style cartoon. It comically depicts how a certain macho "complex" can cripple men. "Baby" (LEE Hong-su, LEE Hong-min) portrays the difficulties a career woman faces in having a child. "Shine Shine Shining" (KWON Mi-jeong) is drawn like a warm, watercolor storybook for children. "Merry Golasmas" is an adorable claymation, or stop motion animation of models constructed from clay, plasticine, etc. Last but not least, “Lies" explores homosexuality.
