I enjoy these short films so much! They're so funny and cute. Although the characters don't say much you can almost understand everything they're trying to say through the sounds and facial expressions.
The main characters of this film is the two octopuses. One is male and one is female. They are in a tank at a Fisherman's market. They love each other very much. However one day the female octopus is taken away. The film basically is about the conflict between the octopuses and the man who came to take one away. Another conflict is about the male octopus fighting against the environment around him. Realistically an octopus out of water cannot move however, this octopus chases after the man's car to rescue his one true ocktapodi. They manage to escape thus the conflict between the man and the octopuses begin. In the end the two octopuses get stuck on a wire and the angry man's car keeps moving forward and drives off into the ocean. At last they are free and reunited! Than the irony of the story, a seagull comes out of no where and picks up the male octopus. This time the female octopus is left alone! It was her turn to rescue the male octopus. And so the conflict or the struggle to be together begins once again.
I'm not sure what the lesson or point of the story really is however, my opinion is that love conquers all and to support each other and love each other in sickness or in health, through the good and the bad is the message that the creator of this film was trying to portray. And that life is full of struggles, disappointments but if you love someone it doesn't matter! You do whatever it takes. I think that the octopuses represent people and the man, the environment and the seagull represent the obstacles and struggles through out life.
