Mermaid

人魚

In a stark, oppressive society where the use of imagination is a criminal offense, a solitary boy encounters a dying fish. Defying the cold logic of his world, he saves it, only to witness an impossible transformation as the creature becomes a beautiful mermaid. This event, a fleeting glimpse of wonder, is seen by others and causes widespread panic and disbelief.

The boy is immediately seized by the authorities for the crime of imagining this 'nonsense' and spreading falsehoods. His punishment is a brutal, state-sanctioned procedure designed to permanently rob him of his capacity for imagination, to purge the very concept of fantasy from his mind. The film explores his internal struggle and the chilling reality of a world devoid of magic, where the memory of the mermaid becomes a haunting symbol of lost freedom.
