Extinct

In a sun‑kissed archipelago of the 1830s, two endearing, donut‑shaped creatures known as flummels live on the fringes of their own community. Op—whose curiosity often lands her in mishaps—and her steady sibling Ed have always felt a little out of step with the other flummels, who regard them as oddities. Their quiet world is upended when a mysterious, oversized flower swallows them whole, whisking the pair far from home and far beyond their own time.

The flower’s portal deposits them in the neon‑lit, traffic‑choked streets of modern Shanghai, a city that hums with electric energy, towering skyscrapers, and cuisines that bewilder even the most adventurous palate. Here, the bewildered duo’s first encounter with a friendly white poodle named Clarance offers a gentle bridge between eras, as the small canine becomes both guide and companion amid the sensory overload of bustling markets and futuristic transport.

Amid the dazzling skyline, Op and Ed discover a startling truth: their beloved species no longer exists in this century. The revelation sparks a blend of urgency and wonder, prompting the siblings to grapple with the alien rhythms of contemporary life while nursing a hidden hope that they might somehow alter the fate of their kind. The film’s tone balances whimsical comedy with a thread of quiet melancholy, inviting audiences to feel the thrill of cultural collision and the tender determination that drives the pair forward.

The dynamic between the accident‑prone sister and her pragmatic brother fuels much of the story’s heart, their contrasting personalities creating both conflict and comedy as they adapt to new customs. Together with Clarance, they embark on a journey that feels simultaneously intimate and epic—a charming, time‑bending adventure that asks what it means to belong, to survive, and to rewrite a history that seems already written.
