Plot

In a post-apocalyptic world (from an unspecified ecological disaster), the population is divided and decimated, including the so-called "degenerates" (mutants deformed as a result of some catastrophic event), and the survivors of the previous civilization. In the depths of the sea exists "the Museum"; it is a place which carries the remains of past civilizations and can only be reached during occasional periods of low tide when the sea becomes a barren desert.

The protagonist of the film is one of the few survivors who has managed to retain the human form and way of thinking.

Cast
gollark: For example, I have removed most Google services from my phone.
gollark: There are lots of different ones and you can reduce your interaction with the worse ones.
gollark: The problems of our current system are probably better than the problems of merging everything into a giant apioid of doom.
gollark: I'm saying that your idea would worsen a lot of problems.
gollark: No.
