Film Description:
"On the beach, a group of happy vacationers is sunbathing... under cloudy skies. Odd, no? But they look cheerful, eating ice cream and hot dogs in an enchanting setting. With a slight smile, we observe the activities of these colourful characters, all drawn with a whimsical accuracy. Then the sun breaks through! Good news right? Well... not really. The sunnier it gets, the fewer people there are on the beach. An animated film with an unexpected ending and a subtle environmental message. A film without words."
