A conveyor-belt sushi restaurant is the setting for
what starts off as a documentary — before colliding
with science fiction and animation — about a rare
animal that has flashbacks of its natural habitat. This
genre-bending film rolls imaginative visual effects, a
creative narrative, and a touch of umami into one bitesized
package.
