Synopsis

Spoiler shield

One in a series of short films called "PSST!" Each short in the series brings together three filmmaking teams, and each must tell a story that picks up where the previous team left off. This storytelling technique is derived from the Dadaist game Exquisite Corpse and the children’s game Telephone and applied to the arts of motion graphics, animation and filmmaking.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
