Land of No Man is carefully crafted in 3D, with occasional
mixed-media elements created through stop-motion animation.
The story unfolds like a children's book as it follows a loner
Capybara goes about his daily life with his favorite friend,
Mister Tangerine. Until one day, a series of passing animals
interrupts his routine with the same question: “Aren’t you lonely?”
