SYNOPSIS

Shigeru is a single-episode animated short that exists in the uncomfortable space between comedy and psychological unease. The narrative follows an ordinary moment that gradually becomes decidedly less ordinary, as reality warps in ways both absurd and unsettling. What begins as a simple situation spirals into something that makes you question what you're actually watching. The piece functions best when you don't know what's coming, so the less said about specifics the better. What matters is the tone: darkly comedic, deliberately strange, and oddly hypnotic. Director Sawako Kabuki crafts something that lands somewhere between a joke with a punchline and a glimpse into something genuinely wrong.
