Separated after the death of their parents, twins Grace and Gilbert desperately hope to be reunited. A bittersweet, virtuoso claymation drama for adults.

Grace thinks back with melancholy. After the loss of her mother, she grew up with her loving but paraplegic and alcoholic father. Following his early death, she was separated from her beloved twin brother. Out of grief and loneliness, Grace withdrew like a snail into a hard shell. Eventually, however, she meets an adorably eccentric older lady called Pinky. The two become friends. And suddenly even love seems possible for Grace.

Exuberantly imaginative, idiosyncratic animated cinema by Oscar winner Adam Eliot, featuring the voices of Nick Cave, Eric Bana and Sarah Snook (Succession).
