Synopsis

Where what happens doesn't and what shouldn't happen does. An axolotl suburban terrorist devises a blackmail note in order to get back his own lawnmower, lent to his erring neighbour. But instead a love story happens that was never supposed to be. It is a fishy, funny film about an axolotl and accidental love.
