Pond
A shoal of herrings, adopting fantastic formations, roams the vast ocean. When seagulls suddenly attack, one small herring finds itself stranded in a tidal pool. As it searches desperately for a way out, it discovers many other sea creatures here. Now there is no time for fear: only by joining forces can they hope to defend themselves against the hungry seagull.
