    sexually charged surrealism
    Eye popping colors painting pretty pictures; animation that flows and fluctuates like a great, surging sea; this is a brilliant little film, one that excites and amuses both the eyes and mind. With its beautifully animated, sometimes oddly obscene visuals and haunting soundtrack, this is a weird short to say the least, but it is gorgeous and entertaining nonetheless. There is plenty of fun to be had with this quick oddity as long as you have a mind open enough to embrace such a wild, experimental ride. There is no real plot, and most of what occurs is likely to radically bewilder and flabbergast the common viewer, any casual moviegoer whose virtually a virgin to avant garde cinema may dismiss this immediately as plot less, pointless drivel; however, if you greet the film's weird vibe with open arms, you may find a treasure of animation that is shocking, grotesque, funny, vulgar, bizarre, beautiful, heavily atmospheric, creepy, unique, engrossing, provocative, and fantastically original.
