Сборник короткометражных работ нескольких талантливых японских режиссеров. Самая экспериментальная анимационная студия Японии, Studio 4°C, решила поиграть мускулами в сборниках короткометражных работ, созданных как выдающимися режиссёрами «старой школы», так и молодой порослью, на момент выхода фильмов едва известной за пределами страны.
