A shoal of herrings, adopting fantastic formations, roams the vast ocean. When seagulls suddenly attack, one small herring finds itself stranded in a tidal pool. As it searches desperately for a way out, it discovers many other sea creatures here. And now there is no time for fear: only by joining forces can they hope to defend themselves against the hungry seagull.
From curious octopuses to glowing sea anemones and resilient starfish, this award-winning animated short celebrates the beauty of nature and the importance of protecting the fragile ecosystems around us.
