Animator Mito battles crushing deadlines, self-doubt, and a mad director to survive a brutal production.

Young animator Mito feels trapped between the demands of a difficult sequence, a tight deadline, debilitating self-doubt, and a seemingly deranged director. Sometimes the only way to get to the other side is to charge right through. (Source: Fantasia Film Festival)
