Fish

This is the story of an ordinary day in the life of a person. Morning comes. Then midday. And so, too, follows afternoon, though it is here that the person's life might change forever. Evening will come, and so will another night, the kind of night that will never be followed by an ordinary day ever again.

Director Statement

While bringing a parcel to the infectious diseases wing of the hospital, I became an unwitting witness of a terrible catastrophe in a person's life. A routine phone call becomes a revelation of a twist of fate for both the caller and the person waiting upstairs. For the visitor, it throws her into a state of stupor and sends her spinning in confusion: why didn't you tell me about this before? While for the patient in the ward upstairs it is just a poor attempt to deliver terrible news, though there never is a truly good time to do so.
