Take a wild romp through the
jungles of psyche and sexuality! This uninhibited collection of shorts plunges
into the themes of lust and liberation, deviant desire and ecstatic
enlightenment. Through an animator's eyes, realize the beauty of the human body
— and then twist your brain around the bizarrely bawdy.
Here's some of what you'll see: Benjamin is gung-ho to join the local
swinger's club. Just one problem... No partner, no entry! Anna orders a new
blow-up boyfriend from the mail order catalog. When he fails to live up to
expectations, she feels deflated. A darkly mysterious chimney sweep dreams his
way through a bizarre house occupied by an enormous glowing cherry, waltzing
walruses, and a burning cabaret dancer. An old Russian witch comes to the aid
of a lovesick girl, helping her reconnect with the forest and an age-old
wisdom. A ribald astronaut searches for love and the meaning of life on the
strange and distant planet of triangles.
