Story
The film consists of many small, often absurd , excerpts, animated inserts, songs and dialogs that are little related to each other: surfers figuring out which of them is KAHUNA, an alien's head, a businessman who arranges for himself a workplace on the beach, capturing other people's bodies and heads - Everything mixed up in this short film.
The meaning of the film is hard to grasp. Jerry Riis says: “I have to say that Tim and I made a strange decision to create a film - as soon as the audience begins to understand what’s going on, immediately change everything.”
