In a desert world where telephones rain from the sky and sales catalog discounts are sung as sacred hymns, a young boy goes missing. Can he be found before unseen dangers close in? GWEN, a long-lost gem of animation, is a post-apocalyptic odyssey akin to ANGEL’S EGG — mysterious, thrilling, and utterly captivating. Experience its restored brilliance.
