What a shame about this movie. A wonderful feeling at the beginning, reminiscent of Jeunet in everything, and a bit of Wes Anderson. A small story and concept, but very playful and stylized.

However, it is all a bit too much milked out, so that even 76 minutes felt long at one point. As far as I'm concerned, the biggest problem lies in the caricatural and predictable lyrics, pronunciation and actions of 'her', which gradually diminishes the interest.

The ending was funny and original. Lots of fun elements, but just not mature enough to compete with Jeunet etc.

Nice! The world created in this film is indeed reminiscent of Jeunet and Wes Anderson. Very colorful and unusual, the characters a bit strange. Even though the plot drops a bit at three quarters, I really can't get enough of it. But it must be said that the level ultimately does not reach that of the best films by Jeunet and Anderson, so that the film ultimately gets stuck at 3.5*. But nevertheless worth it.
