Director Statement

When searching for the answer to "the reason to exist", we have to go through a stage like a storm during the monsoon season, it's suffocating, it's strange and it's chaotic. Two goldfish try setting themselves free from the plastic bag that's trapping them in, in order to get out and go back to the wild. As the legend said, that's the only way to return to their original form. Meanwhile, there is the owner of the fish store, a young girl, who lives life in a soulless way. It feels like there is no purpose in her life. She and the goldfish are all trapped in the city until the typhoon arrived. When our soul is broken, where and how can we find it back?
