Synopsis
“Would you live with someone who ignores you all the time?” The film opens with this monologue. The question comes from a man who is trying to have a conversation with a fish. He pleads, screams, and shakes the fish bowl in a futile attempt to catch its attention. And of course, there is no response. Towards the end of the film, the much ridiculed hero finds himself in court and there are a few more surprises in store. My Life With Baptiste is the story of a lonely man who tries to communicate with nature in an attempt to confirm his identity. He receives applause for his efforts in the middle of the film, as it happens in sitcoms, which adds a touch of humor to the film. However, what appears to be a light-hearted comedy about a silly man who wastes time trying to get a fish to talk actually turns out to be a serious tale with a message. (KIM Eui-Chan)
