The Beetroot
Original title: Řepa
Overview
Inspired by the traditional Slavic folktale “The Enormous Turnip,” a beetroot grows so huge that no one can pull it from the ground. When a local crane operator is hired to do the job, the giant vegetable turns violent and destructive. As chaos unfolds, an army is mobilized to stop it — but maybe there’s another way to appease this monstrous force... 2D animation, stop-motion, and live action mix together in this wild riff on Japanese kaiju movies.
