Experiencing Interruptions?

The Shape of Water

Everyone is a mirror of their original family, but still hope that everyone can grow into their own unique appearance. "Let flowers bloom and trees grow. Where I come from, that's who I am." Water, time, memory, permeate, float and flow. It is a torrent that surrounds and cannot be captured, and it is also a short period of time. Although we have learned to forget, we have not solved the root cause. The film shows the growing pains, reflects on the original family, and pays tribute to the soul that blooms in adversity.
