Zinzan is a short film about a rugby-mad kiwi father who fears for his son's recruitment into the national Under 20s national team when he insists on bringing his boyfriend to practice. 　　Mr Lewis is stoically proud of his son, Liam, who is on the cusp of launching into a rugby career. Yet he’s concerned for his son’s recruitment into the national Under 20’s team because of his perceptions of how others (the team, the fans, and others in the rugby world) will handle Liam’s homosexuality. 　　Mr Lewis has made peace with his son’s sexuality and has gone as far as accepting boyfriend Michael into their lives. But in the parochial, conservative world of kiwi rugby, he fears others may not be as welcoming, and Liam’s future will be threatened by the very culture they’re both devoted to. 　　Zinzan is a fresh story set within an old game, that forces viewers to reflect on not only the subculture of our national sport, but also the dominance of a masculine, heteronormative society.

動画ブロダクション「レオ・プロダクション」を主宰する、レオ・ニシムラが、一年余りの日時を要して、企画・製作した、大人向きのアニメーション。撮影は、荒牧国繁と佐藤るみ子。 　　浮世絵師・春斉は、呉服屋・江戸屋勘助から枕屏風の浮世絵秘画を頼まれた。壁一つ隣の、仁吉とおとよの愛の実態をモデルに、春斉は、真に迫った秘画を描き上げ、、絵の男女を「春信」「おたま」と名づけた。仁吉とおとよの呻き声に誘われて、春信とおたまは、屏風の中から抜け出し、仁吉とおとよを殺害した。この事件を聞き、女同心・幻お流が乗り出してきた。祭りの夜、春信とおたまは、またも、屏風から抜け出た。二人は、祭り帰りの若い男女と関係し、殺した。江戸の町は、この事件に湧いた。お流は、三人の女弟子と捕物陣を張った。ついに春信とおたまは、取り囲まれたが、くいな流の達人・重藤左次馬が現われ、女弟子を斬り、二人を逃がした。春斉の絵に目を一つけた左次馬は、春斉の家に忍び込み、おたまだけを連れ出した。残された春信は、訪ねて来た江戸屋勘助の娘・おゆきを犯し、殺した。逃れてきた春信とおたまを連れて、大川端に逃げた左次馬は、お流の張った捕物陣が迫ると、春信とおたまを斬った。二人は、よろめきながら春斉の家に帰り、屏風絵の中に入って息絶えた。一方、捕手を皆殺しにした左次馬は、お流を、くいな流居合の一閃で全裸にすると、ひるむところを乗りかかって犯した。と見えた瞬間絶叫と共に、左次馬は悶絶して息絶えた。お流の秘術「幻流くの一しぼり」の術中に陥ったのだった。
