If you are obsessed with something, you begin to see it everywhere: Such is the case with the little boy in this animation film who loves the filmmaker and marine explorer Jacques Cousteau. And since the nearby cinema is not playing any of his films and winter in his home town has nothing to do with the world of Cousteau he embarks on a journey to find him. Surely he must be someone, living together with the great octopus the boy saw on the movie's poster...
