Synopsis

Even though the world is a mess due to zombies, there is a woman who lives with fish at a small aquarium store. When the woman realized that zombies avoided water, she ran into a small, empty aquarium store. That's how this life began. The inside of the aquarium was safe and comfortable. When she started to become friends with the fish, the electricity supply to the store was cut off. She decides to go outside to save the fish.

Director's Comment

I wanted to tell a story about someone who had run away from the world and faced it again with courage for someone else. It was created by a small individual wondering how to live and what to live for in this hopeless world. The fish a woman rescues may be someone else or herself. The world is cruel and scary, but isn't it beautiful because we can reach out to each other?

Program Note

A fish and a person are trapped in a square aquarium. Living in a place that is somewhat safe from the zombies, they are never quite sure when their peaceful existence will end. The realistic sound effects and the piano melody create a flowing atmosphere and light, serving as a metaphor for the zombie world. The film shows a person who feels more than thinks, a fish that swims rather than a stagnant fishbowl, and a way to breathe and live by escaping from the fate imposed by the world. PARK Eunah
