The film follows the adventures of a boy, Cuca, exploring the world. It was a 2015 Oscar nominee for Best Animated Feature.

All There in the Manual: Cuca’s name is never actually said in the movie due to everyone Speaking Simlish. It’s only mentioned in the making-of documentary on the DVD.

Chekhov's Gun: Cuca capturing the music bubble, the colorful musical parade, the bird motifs—a lot of the film uses this trope.

Ambiguous Ending: It’s unclear whether the final scene was Cuca remembering his childhood, dying and joining his parents in the afterlife, or simply the film returning to the “past as present” narrative style.

...And That Little Boy Was Me: The final two scenes reveal that both the harvester and the rainbow hat man are actually Cuca at different times in his life, making it this trope. (Or at least, that’s one interpretation of the film.)
