Diane and her family gather to have dinner, but when a leaky roof interrupts their banquet, only Diane seems to take notice.
Diane and her family gather to have dinner, but when a leaky roof interrupts their banquet, only Diane seems to take notice. As the family continue with life under this rapidly worsening situation, we soon come to understand this surreal family drama is an allegory for something much broader and much more important—climate change. Beautifully crafted and animated, each character represents society's differing reactions to arguably the biggest crisis of our times.
