'Weirdo' is a psychological fantasy about authenticity vs. conformity.

Synopsis:
In a world where everyone wears a mask of makeup to cover their face, Iris feels alone. Due to social norms, everyone is literally black and white, and no one dares or wants to show their true colors. This makes life feel like a big puppet show in which Iris is a bad actress.
When her mental mask starts to become too heavy, her behavior begins to stand out within society. She meets Navy, a boy who also wishes for a different reality. Together, they make a plan to escape from their current lives. Their only chance of success is when it rains, when everyone is desperately seeking shelter so that their masks aren't washed off their faces. Unfortunately, the rain does not come as expected, and they are faced with the choice of taking a big risk.
