Remembrance work for the victims of a tragedy that has remained unsolved for over 10 years: the capsizing of the ferry Sewol. Over 300 people lost their lives, including 250 students between the ages of 15 and 18. In intricate stop-motion animation, a fantasy world simultaneously depicting an almost utopian afterlife for the dead and a seemingly dystopian world for the bereaved is constructed. Without language, accompanied by a soundscape of deep-sea noises, criticism of the capitalist system becomes clear – and the seemingly endless amount of work required for a fleeting moment of happiness.
