Synopsis

After a boy’s dad, who was interested in only fishing, passes away, relatives and friends take his things. The boy begins to obsess about the keepsakes from his dad and curses his dad’s friends who, in his imagination, stole his dad’s things. This warm puppet animation depicts the world of anger and loss created by the boy who loses his father in his mind’s eye, and his growing up once he gets out of this world. (KIM Young-woo)
