I hate to admit defeat - but I can't really say what this is supposed to be about. Rather surreally, it reminded me of one of those circular slide projectors I had as a kid, only instead of photos of mountains and castles, this has animated sequences that depict what could be hallucinogenic moments from, or maybe prophetic moments of, my life offered to me as if I was a child. There's everything from people, birds, animals, abstract shapes, chats about risotto and a rather disturbing, talkative, long-eared rabbit before we end à la "Captain Pugwash". Not a clue what's going on but it did make me smile, and some of the detailed animation is both amusing and quirky.
