A documentarian moves into a rental home and discovers an anthropomorphic one-inch talking seashell named Marcel living with his grandmother and pet fluff of lint, who views the world through a child-like sense of wonder and matter-of-factness. After posting a short film about him online, Marcel achieves national attention and must cope with his newfound popularity, while trying to maintain a simple existence. Blending stop-motion and live-action within a unique mockumentary format, it's a gentle and sweet tale that manages to avoid feeling mawkish and doesn't outstay its welcome.
