    Born free but now imprisoned in a Florida aquarium, two walruses perform for mobile-phone-camera-wielding seniors. One, defiant, dreams of freedom & plans her escape while her more docile pool mate obediently goes through the motions on the instructions of their trainer. A characterful three hander with the poignancy of Boxer’s end in Animal Farm in its denouement.
