Summary
Caviar Boy is a fantastical tale of a fish who briefly dwells in the human world to repay a debt of gratitude.
Once living freely in the sea, he reappears in the form of a beautiful young boy to thank the human who set him free, and begins working at a seafood restaurant.
Yet, in that very restaurant where fellow sea creatures are cooked and served each day, he suffers deeply, his face and body slowly turning a pale shade of pink.
Bound by the destiny of eventually returning to the ocean, he embodies a story that explores universal themes of gratitude, farewell, freedom, and the indifference of humankind. Blurring the lines between animation and fairy tale, this work unfolds as a tender and haunting narrative.
