In the description of Angel’s Egg (Tenshi no Tamago) we can read:
Taking place in a seemingly peaceful time, two nameless strangers – a girl carrying a mystical egg and a man with a cane – travel through a primordial realm of decaying ruins, primeval fish and fossilized relics. An allegorical fantasy enriched by symbolism and biblical allusion, Oshii’s beautifully melancholic OVA ruminates on the tragic foundations of existence in a world untouched by God.
