Synopsis:

This series follows the surprisingly eventful journey of a discarded tuna can as it navigates a vast and intricate urban ecosystem. Initially overlooked, the can becomes an unwitting observer of human activity, witnessing moments of both beauty and indifference within the city's hidden corners. Through interactions with other discarded objects and the occasional curious individual, the can unexpectedly develops a unique perspective on existence – themes of transience, memory, and finding purpose in unexpected places are subtly explored. The animation style emphasizes detail, capturing the textures and atmosphere of urban decay while maintaining a gentle, contemplative pace. It’s a character-driven story that prioritizes quiet observation over high-stakes action, inviting viewers to consider the world from an unconventional viewpoint.
