All that remains after the ferocious attack by giant yellow bees is a wrecked vehicle emitting a distress signal in the middle of the Perdide Desert and a lone child. This perilous rescue mission, set against the backdrop of a space journey by René Laloux, leaves the viewer in a desolate landscape that slowly engulfs them. As Jaffar and his team journey through interstellar space, the concepts of time and distance fade into the background. The sharp lines characteristic of adult animation aesthetics blend with the alien texture of the planet.
