When a horror movie buff gets kicked off the police force, he and his girlfriend hunt a serial killer copy-catting the murders from famous horror films.

A depressed lady falls in love with a holographic artificial intelligence (AI) in a cognitive behavioral therapy by virtual reality technology and subsequently suffers a morbid trauma. A depressed woman is prescribed the White Eyes, a pair of special contact lenses, for a cognitive behavioral therapy called Phase Q where a holographic AI is shown in a mixed reality to help her. As a result of using this treatment, she falls in love with the AI character from the program. When the truth strikes her that their love will never work, she commits suicide in her real life. However, everything was just a dark experiment by the world's elite minds who want to decide the fate of humanity with their hands. —Kenichi Iwabuchi & Teli Share

We live in hypersexualised times. The press, adverts and TV are constantly putting naked women and their genitalia on display. But many women are still deeply prudish when it comes to the relationship with their own body. In public we see airbrushed, de-individualised anatomies which conform to the standards of attractiveness used by the porn industry. The ideal image of the smooth, perfectly shaped vulva with symmetrical labia has little to do with the actual shape of most female genitalia. The resultant insecurity many women feel about their own bodies has proven to be a gold-mine for cosmetic genital surgery which promises to manufacture the perfect vagina via the surgeons scalpel. With their comprehensive and unflustered research into the history of this particular aspect of the female anatomy in the 21st century, the directors shed light on every facet of the matter in hand, from sex education to censorship, from the airbrushing of misshapen labia in pornographic images to the work of activists against female genital mutilation and in doing so celebrate the diversity of the female body.
