Once upon a time, there was a magnificent castle, the domain of a queen both wise and good. Under her guidance, the region prospered, until one day it was reported that several members of the staff had disappeared in mysterious circumstances - and the queen set out to investigate. Like its predecessor, Through The Glass Ceiling, this short animated film is a fairy story with a difference: it takes as its theme the very real issue of harassment at work.

Queen Ella is a model employer, but everyone makes mistakes: perhaps she should not have appointed Lord Bluebeard to an executive position.

No Offense shows how to identify and deal with sexual and racial harassment, homophobia and other forms of unacceptable behavior at work, providing audiences with the opportunity to discuss these sensitive topics in an impersonal and constructive way. While acknowledging the seriousness of the subject, the film is also highly entertaining.
