B-Side adapts a form of experimental animation to represent the struggles we all find when we come into the world, all while giving a platform to new forms of emerging musical expression. Flamin’ Hot" serves as the pilot for this anthology. In this episode, we follow Kitty as she navigates the aftermath of a breakup, confronting the different stages of grief; each one taking shape in the world around her.
