- Dumplings - An aging actress wishing to reclaim her youth goes to a woman who makes dumplings that supposedly have regenerative properties. However, they contain a gruesome secret ingredient.
- Cut - A successful film director and his wife are kidnapped by an extra, who forces the director to play sadistic games. If he fails, his wife's fingers will be chopped off one by one every five minutes.
- Box - A soft spoken young woman has a bizarre recurring nightmare about being buried in a box in the snow. Searching for her long lost sister, she realizes her dreams and reality may possibly be connected.

Dumplings was extended and turned into a full length theatrical film that was released into British cinemas by Tartan Films in the spring of 2006.
