Two sisters stay at home alone. They spend their time in their own worlds, at times in synch with each other and other times disconnected.

Directed by Japanese filmmaker Ryo Orikasa, this animated short was inspired by Henri Michaux’s book of poetry and drawings of the same name, about his experiences with mescaline. The film explores the limits of language and perception, creating connections between sound, meaning, shapes and movement.

The children awake to the sound of their parents arguing. Their conduct is affected little by little in response to the adults' daily behavior.
