In a majestic world of intricate hand-drawn textures, a shipwrecked man is found marooned on a desert island. With his attempted escapes thwarted by the strange and larger-than-life titular red reptile, the man’s existence is forever altered when something extraordinary occurs.

Academy Award®-winning Dutch animator, Michaël Dudok de Wit, makes his feature-length directorial debut with a beautiful film that marks the first ever international co-production with the famed Studio Ghibli.
