ChaO

In a futuristic Shanghai, humans and sea creatures live in a fragile symbiosis. Stefan, a timid ship engineer, navigates a ruthless corporate hierarchy that ignores his visionary ideas - until the princess ChaO, daughter of the sea king Neptune, unexpectedly asks for his hand.

The couple suddenly finds themselves in the spotlight and embarks on a wild journey toward mutual closeness, intimacy, and self-acceptance. Director Yasuhiro Aoki's visually unrestrained and playfully witty anime won acclaim at the Fantasia and Sitges festivals and received the jury prize at Annecy.
