In a cave within an incisor, a shaman works ambitiously on a massive mural. When she runs out of paint, she travels to the wisdom tooth at the back of the mouth to gather new supplies. Her journey is arduous, as toothpaste storms sweep through the oral cavity: the television presenter to whom the mouth belongs prepares to deliver the weather report with a brilliant white smile.

Paradise Man (ii)
Paradise Man searches for meaning in an unknowable universe.
God Is Shy
During a train ride, Ariel and Paul pass the time sketching their deepest fears. Their game takes an unexpected turn when Gilda, a mysterious passenger, intrudes on their exchange. Yet, her relationship with fear seems far less innocent than their playful drawings.
I'm Not Sure
Insight into the filmmaker's stay in hospital, where she repeatedly experiences absurd, funny moments between pain, homesickness and disgust of her own body. Meanwhile, she tries to come to terms with the hospital's own procedures and hierarchies. An emotional trip through the long underground corridors of the hospital with lots of small talk and tubes.
