Fourteen-year-old Sam is being bullied at school and takes refuge under a desk. In desperation, he puts the teacher's fishbowl over his head to protect himself from his bully. As he walks down the school's dark hallway, he glimpses his reflection. Seeing himself distorted by the bowl, his anxieties grow as he tries to shape his body to fit inside. When he encounters his mother, she reaches out to help him, but Sam remains hidden in his protective shell, unsure if he can face the world outside.

Hasse Van Overbeke, born in Belgium in 2001, discovered animation at age seven through Flipnote Studio on a Nintendo DS. This sparked a passion that led to art school at thirteen. Despite battling anorexia during difficult school years, Hasse recovered with support. In a master’s program, Hasse created the short film Canned, graduating with honours in 2024. Now focused on stop-motion and digital cut-out animation, Hasse enjoys yoga, gardening, gaming, and time with a beloved cat.
