Synopsis

Jonah, the eternal man, gets swallowed up by the whale. Instead of losing hope, he carries on with his life as usual. Equipped with strong survival skills and a laid-back attitude, he pioneers for himself inside the whale? body by drilling holes and making a fire. While Jonah is enjoying his life however, the damaged whale begins to sink to the bottom of the sea. It is by no means the end for our hero however. This film has unique caricature-like images which have been individually painted. The relaxed sense of humor coming from the director who spent over 20 years in the animation production is simply irresistible. (KIM Eui-Chan)
