Le film consiste en une série de 36 courts métrages d'une durée comprise entre 30 secondes et 2 minutes environ, chacun inspiré par l'une des strophes du poème. Entre les films, la strophe du film à venir s'affiche à l'écran et est lue par un narrateur ou une narratrice. Comme il est d'usage dans ce type de poème, le premier vers de chaque nouvelle strophe reprend le dernier vers de la strophe précédente. Le premier court métrage montre un groupe de poètes japonais réunis dans une maison et accueillant l'invité d'honneur qui, selon l'usage, compose la première strophe du renku ; c'est le seul à montrer les auteurs du poème. Les films suivants plongent dans l'univers d'images et de sensation évoqués par les strophes du poème. Le poème lui-même ne développe pas d'intrigue suivie ; il contient des éléments d'intrigue, mais ils restent très allusifs. Les courts métrages, de leur côté, ne présentent pas nécessairement une adaptation littérale du poème mais s'en inspirent plus ou moins librement. Les différents courts métrages ne comportent pas de paroles, seulement de la musique et des bruitages. Les techniques d'animation sont extrêmement variées, de même que les styles graphiques et le ton des différents films (ils sont tour à tour paisibles, angoissants, drôles, tristes, etc.). Le film proprement dit est suivi d'un documentaire de making of donnant des informations sur le poème d'origine et sur la production du film.

In the faraway eternally busy city of Din, live the black-and-white Rushers, who constantly go about their business in a fast-paced way and stop only to sleep. Din lies in between two worlds that create dreams to deliver to the sleeping Rushers – one is the bright and cheerful Frivoli, where Greensleeves and his Figmen of Imagination bring sweet dreams, and the other is the Murkworks, a dark and dingy factory home to vultures who drop nightmare bombs. The evil Synonamess Botch, maniacal ruler of the Murkworks wants to foil Greenie's efforts and subject the Rushers to non-stop waking nightmares. He uses his vultures to kidnap the Figs and Greensleeves, but not before Greensleeves writes an S.O.S. to Frivoli.
