Synopsis

Twenty-three-year-old Marina lives with her architect father in a prototype factory town by the sea. Finding the human species strange and repellent, she keeps her distance. Instead, she observes it at a distance through the mammal documentaries of Sir David Attenborough and the sex-ed lessons she receives from her only friend, Bella. A stranger arrives in town and challenges her to a foosball duel. Meanwhile, her father prepares for his exit from the 20th century which he considers to be "overrated." Caught between the two men and her friend Bella, Marina embraces the wondrous mystery of the human fauna.
