The Zoopticon, a spaceship filled with cultural artifacts, is floating through outer space. Five mutated singing animals are its inhabitants. When they finally encounter each other and realize that they all are living souvenirs shot into space as part of a theme park event from a mysterious planet called Earth, they decide to emancipate themselves.
