This animated fable tells the story of a boy who discovers a bizarre-looking creature while out collecting bottle tops at the beach. Realizing it is lost, he tries to find out who owns it or where it belongs, but is met by indifference by everyone he encounters. Empathizing with the creature, the boy sets out to find a “place” for it. The film is based on a picture book by multi-award-winning author and illustrator Shaun Tan.
