<GLASSES> is a short animated film born from the collaboration between acclaimed director Joung Yumi and Kiminte, creative director of KIMHĒKIM. The film tells the story of a protagonist. They confront their inner shadow and gain a new perspective. They use KIMHĒKIM’s poetic objects to express repressed emotions.
