A chameleon who literally disappears when no one looks at him works alongside animals who won't see him even when he's standing right there. The hurt isn't loud or dramatic. It accumulates in silence, in the small moments when someone walks past without noticing. By the end, the film doesn't fix anything with a grand gesture. It just asks if anyone's willing to actually look.
In the woods stands a company staffed entirely by animals. One of its workers, a chameleon, is wounded by the ridicule he receives from his colleagues, and the question is whether he and his coworkers can ever come to understand one another. A short drama with fantasy touches, the film was made as a 2022 graduate work in the Department of Animation at Tokyo University of the Arts, Graduate School of Film and New Media.
