Synopsis
A city is flooding. People flee or adapt to the new reality—by plunging into the water and miraculously growing fins. An old shoemaker struggles to carry on his way of life—fishing from the flooded streets the fin people’s discarded shoes. His wife, who suffers in silence watching her husband’s refusal to change, is slowly being seduced by the “siren song” of the fin people’s carefree attitude. As the waters rise, a decision must be made. Will they follow the others? Is there another way?

The idea behind the film originated by observing our society and its constant search for something new and better on the one hand, and the power of the authorities that prefer an obedient crowd over a critical individual on the other. The main character personifies the individual who simply wants to live life differently from the new norms and stay true to tradition, even if that means struggling against nature. Thus, the fundamental question the film raises revolves around personal integrity. What happens to someone who does not want to change their life just because their surroundings and society dictate that they should? What if they think that there is no point in changing their life? I’m not claiming this stance is right or wrong—my aim is for viewers to look at modern life more critically and to resist blindly following the crowd.
