Otohime 20,000 — Plot

This animation film proves that a fascinating story can be told with simple means, provided the narrator's fantasy is without limits. The young artist lives in the wooden house at the city edge; among his neighbors are a dead yakuza, a quirky old custodian, and a lady with a son, who hides in boxes all the time. The trouble starts when the protagonist finds a naked girl called Otohime who says she is from the distant future. In 20,000 years, everything is dead on the planet after the nuclear war, but giant computers still produce content using genetically modified dinosaurs for aliens' entertainment...
