Synopsis: A fisherman is fishing in the Black sea. He is sitting, waiting for a stupid fish to bite. At last, there it is a fish. But what will happen if it was the reverse - If fishes were eating humans? It won't be good right?
This short film explores the concepts such as utopia and dystopia in terms of the human relationships to animals and nature. It depicts the maritime world as alive and able to influence us, as well as the possibility to become the 'other' and suffer the relevant consequences.
By suggesting that the roles can be reversed, where humans could turn into fish and fish could start fishing humans, the film implies the awareness that we, as humans, need to be aware of the outcomes of overconsumption of any kind.
Even though, the reality presented in the film is imaginative and illusional, blurring the lines between fantasy and dream, it relates to the basic concept of being human. Currently, humanity is taking advantage of nature and technology and we all forget the essence of being human. By abusing what has been given to us and taking for grated all our resources, we are create a individualistic utopian reality for ourselves.
