This film falls along the lines of an experimental film and an original, unusual narrative short. It toys with the idea of ethnicity, race and origins, mixed with transgender, straight, gay, bisexual and queer identities. Genders, races and sexual orientations combine themselves and the lines get blurry. Differences become similarities. The film was purposefully shot on a old VHS camera, to allude to vintage, family home videos.

Thirty years ago, aliens arrive on Earth. Not to conquer or give aid, but to find refuge from their dying planet. Separated from humans in a South African area called District 9, the aliens are managed by Multi-National United, which is unconcerned with the aliens' welfare but will do anything to master their advanced technology. When a company field agent contracts a mysterious virus that begins to alter his DNA, there is only one place he can hide: District 9.

Short film to a song of love lost and rediscovered, a woman sees and undergoes surreal transformations. Her lover's face melts off, she dons a dress from the shadow of a bell and becomes a dandelion, ants crawl out of a hand and become Frenchmen riding bicycles. Not to mention the turtles with faces on their backs that collide to form a ballerina, or the bizarre baseball game.
