Several seriocomic stories are woven together involving inhabitants of a Sydney apartment complex who are searching for meaning in their lives and finding it in unique ways. Most interesting story revolves around lonely widower (Otto) who allows a burnt-out guardian angel (Rush) to share his flat. Title refers to one young resident who finds happiness in a paperback book, called The Meaning of Life, purchased for $9.99. Clever screenplay cowritten by director Rosenthal with acclaimed Israeli writer Etgar Keret, based on his short stories. Stop-motion animated film is decidedly not suitable for children.
