A cheery garbage monster helps a boy and the townspeople explore the truth behind their oppressive, grey, isolated existence. This gentle, imaginative film from director Hirota Yusuke and Japanese anime Studio 4°C (Tekkonkinkreet, Children of the Sea) combines a pacy, eclectic and philosophical storyline with stunning animation.
