This amusing little fable takes on the inner loves and inner jealousies of potatoes. The boyfriend of an owner of a "friterie" (French fry vender) hits a potato on the road and... falls instantly in love? Following, he maintains his relationship with his starchy fiancée while alienating his friends, neighbors, and the local priest... until apparently the potato "dies" or something. All seems to be going well but the potatos... those vengeful things... lie in wait.
It's a cute movie. It's animated in a variety of ways, mostly 3D for the inanimate objects, 2D hand-drawn for the character animation, and either compositing into live-action or really high definition HDRI texturing for some sort of strangely realistic backgrounds. As more and more animation slips into live action movies, photorealism is slipping into animation at an alarming rate--not because it's bad, but because it's sort of strange to see when it's used and why.
