Daring both visually and thematically, this feature-length cartoon follows the space journey of a young boy who seeks vengeance against the machine-man responsible for his mother's death. The boy encounters a woman resembling his mother, and she aids him in his quest. They arrive at a
cold, dead planet that derives its energy from the hearts of people whose bodies have become machines. The youth's journey is highly symbolic of his overcoming the bonds that keep him so consumed by his memory of his mother.
