Si l’on voit les éléments les plus banals de la vie quotidienne de façon individuelle, ils peuvent sembler profondément bizarres à tout moment. À contre terme, les choses les plus inimaginable sont parfois plus faciles à comprendre. Il ne serait tardé à rentrer dans Funky Forest afin de comprendre ce qu'est l'absurdité pure et dure. Vous ne verrez point entre ces lignes le synopsis sensé d'un film avec un début et une fin. Funky Forest est un grand mélange de fondus, d’absurdités, de retours en arrière, d’ellipses et de rêves lucides où les moments magiques et insensés s'enchaînent toujours d’une façon audacieuse et aléatoire. En parcourant Funky Forest, on y découvre un spectacle d'un surréalisme psychédélique de première eau. Multitude d’anomalies biologiques inexplicables, personnages extraterrestres, bio-curiosités s'entrechoquant avec toute la logique chaotique d’un vidéoclip seront liés au malaise des balbutiements amoureux et autres déceptions du genre.
