Synopsis

Rachel, rebellious young mouse, lives alone with her depressive mother in a burrow. Her only connection to the outside world is a Tinder like app, where she can watch the animals living in the city above her. When Rachel’s phone drowns in a bath after a masturbation accident, Rachel unexpectedly embarks on a journey where she goes out with the most dangerous animals in town, against her controlling mother’s wishes. She dates with a charismatic giraffe, a seductive tiger, and finally, with a pleasant rabbit. Rachel will discover that the outside world is not what she expected, and will find new compassion in her relationship with her mother.
