SYNOPSIS

A story of a whale and a dog figure that misses its home. Two motifs contributing to the film¡¯s psychological conflict are ¡®decalcomania¡¯ and an ¡®awkward singing of a dog missing the sea¡¯. The strange symbolic rituals in Rosa¡¯s space wash away the signs of a cracked ego stained in I-Ju¡¯s daily life. We can see Rosa¡¯s probable escape from the burden of life when the separated pictures become on, and shadow moves in the same dance with its reality.
