This animated short film explores the mysterious nature of dreams, as a woman and her sidekick cat find themselves moving from one strange room to another in pursuit of an elusive floating pushpin. On this journey between dreams and reality, the characters meet with the unexpected, the absurd, and the oddly familiar, in imaginative mixed-media spaces created by eight contributing artists.
