Description:
This short film uses a fishbowl as a metaphor for our fragile, interconnected world. Inside, three goldfish symbolize innocence and harmony. Initially, the bowl is gently passed between hands, showing cooperation. But as the story progresses, possessiveness and aggression turn the exchange into chaos. The struggle for control causes the bowl to slip and crash, representing the destruction of harmony caused by greed and ego. The film emphasizes how conflicts and the pursuit of power can lead to catastrophe, urging us to value cooperation and respect to protect our shared world.
