Two kids wearing cheerful footie pajamas with matching helmets undergo an odd education in Children of the Null, a strange, visually striking short that combines animation, science fiction, and some inspiringly bizarre props. An unseen narrator provides the lesson plans, which are thoroughly dystopian:

“Words. They can mean anything, but numbers tell the truth. Listen. There is an invisible world. A world of numbers. You children will learn to live there.”
