It does not have a story, but is rather a seven-minute collage of art. The film consists of dozens of paintings, some well known to the layman (Creator/LeonardoDaVinci's ''Mona Lisa'', of course, as well as Creator/AndyWarhol's Creator/MarilynMonroe photographs) and some that are less well known. The pictures continually morph into each other, one after another, which is where the "animated" part of "animated short film" comes in.

* TheMermaidProblem: Solved by Rene Magritte when he made the human half of his mermaid the bottom half. See OurMermaidsAreDifferent below.
* NoPlotNoProblem: Not even a hint of a story.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: One of the paintings is Rene Magritte's ''Collective Invention'', a somewhat unsettling work showing a mermaid that's fish on the ''top'' and woman on the bottom. The inverted mermaid is lying on its side on the beach, basically a beached fish with lady parts.
* ShoutOut: The whole film is a shout out to artists and works of art. Leonardo, Creator/PabloPicasso, Creator/FridaKahlo, Creator/ReneMagritte, others.
* SilenceIsGolden: No dialogue, but there is a music accompanying track.
