Director's statement
This animated short film is based on a real-life experience of sexual initiation in childhood. The film is divided into four short stories based on my impressions of “sex”, using “the elephant in the room” to refer to “sex” that is avoided. The film reflects on the current situation of sexual shame and explores the process of demystifying “sex” while growing up.
