Get your shell rolling for the latest beautifully bittersweet claymation sensation from Academy Award winning animator Adam Elliot (Harvie Krumpet, Mary and Max). Be amongst the first to see the poignant, heartfelt, and humorous chronicle of the life of an outsider featuring an all-star Aussie voice cast including Sarah Snook, Eric Bana, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Magda Szubanski, and Jacki Weaver.

Grace Pudel is a lonely misfit with an affinity for collecting ornamental snails and an intense love for books. At a young age, when Grace is separated from her fire-breathing twin brother Gilbert, she falls into a spiral of anxiety and angst. Despite a continued series of hardships, inspiration and hope emerge when she strikes up an enduring friendship with an elderly eccentric woman named Pinky, who is full of grit and lust for life.
