What happens when a yellow sponge and his best friend land in Tehran craving burgers? This Iranian animated oddity follows Bob and Patrick on their first trip to the country, dazzled by street food smells and eager to wander the city like tourists without a guidebook. The calm doesn't last: something strange starts stirring around them, and Mr. Krabs turns up pointing a gun. A low-budget fever dream that leans into its own excess with disarming, wholehearted enthusiasm.
