She's young and ready for it. However, when she finally gets her first period, it doesn’t feel the way it should. It is a nightmare. Period Drama is a short animated film composed of four chapters, with plot points referencing the biological events that occur during the phases of the menstrual cycle. Menstruation connects the vignettes like a secret thread. Through the humorous gaze of a character, the film analyses menstruation's essential and often baffling presence in life. While commenting on adolescence, gender politics, sexuality, motherhood and Orlando Bloom, she takes us on a surreal trip that begins with her first period and continues as she, much like an egg, matures.
