Tod Lubitch is born with a deficient immune system. As such, he must spend the rest of his life in a completely sterile environment. His room is completely hermetically sealed against bacteria and virus, his food is specially prepared, and his only human contact comes in the form of gloved hands. The movie follows his life into a teenager.

A remake of a 1977 TV movie-of-the-week starring John Travolta. Shot on super8 with Ken and Barbie dolls, this animated film explores the themes of adolescent love, isolation, plastic bubbles, beach parties and the boy next door.
