Tomoko, from Japan, visits London for the first time and tries to learn the language. Okay, so far, but this story quickly turns very bizarre with strange images as the lead character winds up at a YMCA-pool where deep-sea diving is practiced.
Tomoko slips and cracks her head on the side of the pool and slips into the water. (Nobody sees this?) She winds up underwater in the depths of the earth where a different form of life exists. She's encased in a bubble, given some sort of sparkling wand, and then returns to Earth and her "flat" a changed person.
To me, this animated short was interesting for the visuals more than the story, which is common among many of today's clever animated short films. This is wonderful artwork.
