While collecting bottle tops on the beach, a boy discovers a peculiar, friendly creature that resembles a mix between a crab and a pot-bellied stove. Realising it's lost, he tries to find its owner, but everyone else seems indifferent. Determined to help, the boy embarks on a journey to find a place where the creature truly belongs.
