Synopsis 故事大綱

In the world of this short film, people cannot live too seriously. If they are discovered, they must be captured and undergo a transformation, where the “serious” part of their being is extracted. During one such process, the people responsible for the transformation accidentally become more and more involved and, unintentionally, become serious themselves…

在短片的世界中,人類都不能過得太過認真。如果被發現,他們將會被捕並接受一場轉化,將內在「認真的部分」剝離出來。然而,在一次這樣的轉化過程中,負責轉化的人意外地越來越投入,並且不知不覺中,自己也變得認真了起來……
