The first temptation is to define it as provocative short animation. Not for drawings , humanizing the underwater creatures, not for stories, familiar but so easy ignored, but , maybe, for status of fable because not the creatures from oceans and seas are the characters but, under their traits, just us. The result is not so comfortable and this is the essential virtue of film. The appearences and the risks to believe them truths, the cold consumation of the other, the effects of a form of drinkness or the perpetuation in not so ordinary manner of specie are the good kicks for see the life , yours, then the underwater creatures , from different perspective. So, lucidity as the precious gift for viewer, in this case.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
