Genius Party

Egglike skulls gather around a bird-shaped figure in a strange desert, while elsewhere a child's drawings become defenses against invading machines. In a city of the dead, a boy tries to return a living frog home. Another young man finds his place among familiar people occupied by a duplicate.

A baby's secure nursery gives way to an unsettling outside world, and visions of modern life open into questions about consciousness and existence. On a quieter road, two friends skip school before an impending separation, seeking one last day together while the ordinary world becomes as fragile as any dream.
