This humble and poetic claymated student him has a simple yet powerful beauty. In a dark and oppressive world we observe, Evan, who works at a plastic animal factory in which he is in charge of quality control, making sure no reject toy animals make it into cereal boxes. We discover his affinity with these imperfect toys, which he steals, away to his home and sanctuary. Inevitably the harshness of the outside world leads him to subversion and his escape from its oppressiveness becomes complete. One of the most remarkable animated films to come from the VCA film school in several years.
