Surreal Australian stop-frame animated feature which boldy asks: What is the meaning of life? Based on the short stories of Israeli writer Etgar Keret.

Unemployed,  28 year-old Dave (Samuel Johnson) spies an ad for a booklet which claims to offer the meaning of life for the very reasonable price of $9.99. In his mission to share his find with the world, Dave crosses paths with his Sydney apartment block neighbours: an old man and his disgruntled guardian angel, a magician in debt, a bewitching woman who likes her men extra smooth, a broken-hearted man who befriends a group of hard-partying two-inch-tall students, and a little boy who sets his piggy bank free. Their stories are woven together, examining life's big question.
