Synopsis
After a sperm and an egg meet, a boy is born. The boy accidentally finds a bag and opens the bag out of curiosity. At that moment, an unidentified beetle turns up and snatches the bag away. They start to fight for the bag. Numerous characters come to join this bag fight. The boy sometimes makes his appearance. The boy grows up to become an old man after the years go on. Everyone gathers to open the bag finally, and check what is inside of it.
Director's Comment
I would like to show the frailty of life in this film. I show a satire on life from the skeptical and futile point of view. A boy finds out a fancy bag accidentally, and goes after the bag dedicating his lifetime to the bag. When he finally finds out there is only useless poop in the bag, he comes to die. From this story, I interestingly describe the protagonist who cannot find an answer feeling left out in his life where truth and false commingle. It seems that the events and scenes in this animation would have no connection; they talk about friendship, love, religion as a symbol, a metaphor or a code, contain harmony and conflicts and show something forever and something to change.
