With containers as a motif and a metaphor for a safe place, the story surrounds the protagonist's self-searching and healing journey, exploring the relationship between emotion and space. The film attempts to construct a poetic narrative and psychological self-portraits through experimentation in 2D animation, stop-motion, and sound. By applying pottery and clay, it reflects sensibility, fragility, and fragmentation of identity.
