Place aux bêtises et à l’imagination ! Dans le court métrage musical La fille au béret rouge, Janet Perlman nous fait vivre un voyage en métro haut en couleur. 100 miles de Louis Bodart raconte un trajet sur la route des vacances qui déraille de façon hilarante. Bouche décousue d’Andrea Dorfman nous rappelle que si l’honnêteté est une qualité, son usage débridé peut causer des ennuis… Dans La fille qui détestait les livres, Jo Meuris fait le récit d’un dégoût qui se transforme en passion. Nuit d’orage de Michèle Lemieux évoque les questions qui surgissent durant l’enfance et apporte des propositions de réponses saugrenues. Enfin, Qalupalik d’Ame Papatsie relate la légende du monstre marin qui punit les enfants indociles.
