Description
Astrid Katy Smythe appears to be the epitome of perfection - intelligent, beautiful and popular. However, her life is not without its flaws. In contrast, Hiro's existence seems marked by imperfection, with his slouchy demeanor and resentment towards school. A chance encounter at a shopping centre, where Astrid has disguised herself as a lobster, sets them on a path to discover common ground despite their vastly different perspectives. Astrid is driven by a desire to change the world, while Hiro's focus is on survival. Yet, both share a deep conviction that the world needs to be saved from itself. As they navigate their complicated relationship, they must confront the complexities of life, love and the planet's precarious state. This romantic comedy explores themes of identity, love and environmentalism, with a healthy dose of humour and heartbreak along the way.
