A young woman describes herself using the most dazzling superlatives. But the image she creates with words is shattered by the witty illustrations. A playful combination of animation and spoken word portrays the malign dynamic of our age, the great malaise: our constant striving to present an image of perfection and the crippling fear of failure and inadequacy.
