Synopsis

During Lunch break on an elementary school field day, Minsu wins a Giant fish-shaped candy(Dalgona) from a lucky draw. Even though his friends wanted a bite, Minsu decided to eat candy all by himself. Then, he got eaten by a Giant fish that suddenly appeared from the air. Discharged through Giant fish’s poop hole, Minsu faces an eccentric sight as nutrients of his body are all squeezed out.

Director's Comment

After birth, an individual goes through the process of maturity by taking steps of lifespan, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The breakpoints of each step are vague and differ from individuals. There are no certain signs and this series of growth happens unconsciously. Therefore, a person can only notice its growth, looking back after getting older. From here, I imagined a story about a personal proceed to the next stage through an inner unconscious journey, which gets forgotten in conscious reality.

Program Note

The “dalgona” game shows up at Minsu’s elementary school field day. The childhood game that was popular in schools makes us nostalgic and is fun to watch from the very beginning. The most charming part of the game is of course winning the giant carp. Minsu wins it and becomes the envy of his friends, but he has no intention of sharing it. The boy goes from childhood into adolescence, an unfinished inner journey of colors and images where Minsu’s growing pains can be seen. Jinny Hyejin CHOO
