A short animated film dedicated to the boundlessness of children's imagination. What can a child think when he hears a neighbor drilling a wall? What wonderful pictures his imagination can draw.

Hun Tun was an ancient emperor of chaos. He was both admirable and scary. Life with him was beautifully unbearable. In the Chinese myth, the world is born out of Hun Tun's dying body. Magdalena is an ordinary millennial. Her life is full of little twists and adventures: work, friends and love. But now she has only one mission – to get her sleep back. The more she tries, the more she gets stuck. It is only when she sees the chaos in her life clearly that the situation changes. And suddenly, there are other people with their “chaoses” too. This is how being spotted and recognized, Hun Tun starts losing power over Magdalena. Living together (un)happily forever.

An animated short film about a school where the students keep mysteriously disappearing. Rybnická elementary school has a new sensation - one pupil dies in teacher Zimová's class every year. Is it a morbid coincidence or are the students in the class really cursed? Filmed based on the comic of the same name by Josef Blažek and Lenka Šimečková.

What would happen if mum was always right? Do mums always tell their children the truth? If I squint, will I stay cross-eyed forever? And what about beer, can it be safely tasted? Or will it make me the shortest granddad in the old folk’s home? Will I really have muscles like Popeye if I eat spinach? The film follows mothers and children in several households. Their grotesque and absurd tales are based on the most common phrases told to children , for whom though they are an utterly plausible reality. In my film these situations will be showing what would happen if our mothers were always right. Absurdities like unravelled belly button, frogs in one’s stomach, eyes in the neighbours garden etc. are a great opportunity for the animated film, for which not a single literal meaning is impossible or inconcievable to shoot. The film is targeting primarily the adult viewers, parents, to make them realise the power and absurdity of their warnings. But I hope children will enjoy it too.
