It's a sunny day on the beach when two egg-characters mime their way onto the sunniest hotspot. Neither are really up for sharing, and playfully at first they begin to bicker about who gets the warmth. Then it's pretty much open warfare. One is expelled and finds solace in the sea but they both continue their squabble with neither realising it's dark and they are both now a bit chilly. Their conflict now gives way to the need to warm up and maybe they should shake hands rather than their teeth? It's quite an enjoyably quirky animation this with an excitable score to complement the message that we might all be better together?
