Synopsis

Using live-action stop-motion animation, the film tells a fantastical, cryptic fable. The beauty sponge, a small makeup tool that makes foundation and concealer sit smoothly on the face, happily arrives in a new family of cosmetics. After being used by its owner for a while, one day it suffers its owner's furious "torment". Having learned its lesson, the sponge decides at once to run away. It drops from a height, crawls across the dusty floor, struggles around a corner and moves tirelessly forward through light and shadow. Suddenly it accidentally witnesses a shocking scene, which makes it turn back immediately...
