"Alvin Sputnik is Earth's last hope. The seas have risen, billions have died, and those who remain live on farms on top of skyscrapers, on top of mountains. The scientists have tried everything. Floating islands sank, space probes found nothing, and the giant sponges, visible from the moon, are now rotting icons of failure.

Now science and humanity are turning to the oceans themselves. It is up to Alvin Sputnik to venture through the mysterious depths to find a place for the human race to live in peace once more. "The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik" uses a unique blend of mime, puppetry and transformative animation to explore the next and oldest frontier, the deep blue sea.'
