Silly existential conversations are narrated by the voices of children or perhaps artificial intelligence. Topics of these somewhat stupid and fanatical conversations include killing cockroaches, socializing at the grocery store, and the extinction of chickens. Macro views of sculptural installations made from mundane objects with hand-drawn animation create a playful backdrop to the idiosyncratic voice-overs. The combination of abstract shapes, voice-overs, and background disco music creates a moment of dissonance and explores the idea of false hopes.
