A service station worker unexpectedly forms a bond with a common fish. From this seemingly mundane encounter, a series of unsettling events emerges. All the characters in the film were handmade. The protagonist, a service station clerk, is a stop-motion puppet; the others are ceramic sculptures scanned through 3D photogrammetry.
