Five filmmakers were given the task to make a film to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the Japanese collectible toy manufacturer MediCom Toy, perhaps most famous for their BE@RBRICK character. The stories show great variation, revolving around lovers, families, married couples, friends and children, with each director demonstrating his own distinctive style.
Vijf regisseurs kregen de kans om een korte film te maken over een jubileum, om te vieren dat het Japanse design-speelgoedbedrijf MediCom Toy, bekend van hun BE@RBRICK-poppetjes, twintig jaar bestaat. De zeer verschillende films, elk geschoten in een geheel eigen stijl, gaan onder meer over de liefde, families, huwelijken, vrienden en kinderen.
