This one quietly takes your eyes away from you and dares you to keep watching. A little girl loses her familiar route after a robbery knocks her off course, slips past a hedge, and the film hands the rest of the world over to her other senses. No spectacle, no monster to beat, just soft pastel color and deliberately simple character design doing the heavy lifting while her imagination fills in everything sight can't reach. It runs the length of a coffee break because it's a graduation piece out of the National Taiwan University of Arts, three students with something to prove and no budget to hide behind. That's exactly why it lands: nobody had the resources to fake feeling, so they built it honestly. Slept on, unlisted in most conversations, and better than half the things people argue about all season.

Chico is a little blind girl whose purse is snatched in broad daylight. When her guide dog Gogo chases after the thief, she is drawn away from the route she knows well. Slipping through a gap in a fence, she finds herself in a strange, unknown world and sets out on a magical adventure guided by her imagination and by senses other than sight. The one-episode fantasy short is a graduation project by three students from the National Taiwan University of Arts, drawn with simple designs in soft, gentle colors.
