In the 1960s, an avid protector of legendary animals sets out to find a baku, a creature from Japanese mythology that has recently been spotted by a bounty hunter. Accompanied by two acolytes, she engages in a chase that will take them to the four corners of the Earth and force them to face less friendly entities... This audacious and creative animated film with a luxuriant sense of aesthetics is an anticapitalistic, extraordinary eco-fable that incites us to think about the nature of utopias. A raw gem of imagination and visual freedom.
