I won't say much about the details of the short, because it should be seen fresh.
But without giving too much away, the story is an inventive exploration of the relationship between a husband and wife who have grown apart.
This short does what it should do, which is tell a story that isn't boring. And it does it far better than the other Oscar-nominated animated shorts this year. It's no contest.
Although it's a different style, if you liked Pete Docter's Up from 2009, you'll like this. The setting is similarly absurd, floating (sort of) is involved, and it's about long love.
