This is not an easy cartoon/animation that you will just enjoy, u need to think and understand the whole movie to catch the meaning. Well, at first i dun really know what the heck it is, but as i follow along the whole film, it brought out its meaning to me.

An academy winner in the France awards animation, Korea really did show what they have in this industry~ good work :)
