The Day Spring Comes and Architect A summon back the green world we've forgotten in the rush of daily life. BATTERY MOMMY portrays a mother rising to meet a sudden crisis. New World Tour holds the memory of a seaside trip from a time when the family was still whole. Stay Alive looks closely at the life of a fiddler crab besieged by predators. In Dancing Frog, the fate of a frog who encounters a snake in the grass reveals an animator who has arrived at a kind of enlightenment. Each film, in its own way, expresses what it feels like to be alive.
