In a visually surreal zoo, Salty — an odd little duck with a rainbow tuft — narrates his own coming-of-age tale. From a young age, he feels out of place, until a flamboyant pair of outcast birds arrive with a shy gosling and settle in the punk side of the garden. A tender friendship and first love blossom between the two outcasts, despite bullying, prejudice, and parental doubts. But when gentrification threatens to erase their world, the animals must unite to defend their home and their chosen family. Blending pop culture, humor, and emotion, Salty is a vibrant animated story about identity, love without labels, and the beauty of belonging.
