Synopsis

A drone carries a single drop of water in a bottle across a scorching desert world of the future. Each new location brings greater danger: a man with a net, a boxing kangaroo and giant jellyfish. The drop finally reaches a billionaires’ party. An animated story about a world where an essential resource becomes a privilege of the wealthy.
