Heartbreaking tragedy blends beautiful animation with witty silent comedy...

A gloriously hand-animated existential fable that manages to be both genuinely sweet and thoroughly twisted.

That's a premise both ghastly and romantic. Yet, it's one we've seen again and again-though often with a lovable dog or a clever cat instead of a severed body part.

What results is a film of incredible insight and beauty wrapped up in a somewhat gory and unnerving package.
