Visually lush, the psychedelic, underwater world swirls around the sadness of a little girl, Shenxiu (Wang Ting Wen), who longs to connect with her absent mother. As she journeys to the bottom of the ocean, Shenxiu befriends a mythical multi- eyed blob of a sea-creature, the Hyjinx, and a fast-talking rogue of a chef, Nanhe (Su Xin), who turns out to have a heart of gold. The multi-layered story tackles loss and depression in the form of the feared Red Phantom and counterpoints its serious themes with cute baby otter waiters serving over-indulged fishy customers and chubby, determined walruses mad-pedaling Nanhe’s ramshackle cruise-ship-restaurant into the eye of the Deep Sea. The kaleidoscope of grief, hope, sacrifice, and survival all come together in a cascading explosion of colour and sound.
