Oktapodi

The main characters of this short movie are a pair of love struck octopuses and a stubborn cook. The octopuses are deeply in love and throughout the story they become separated and then find each other. The cook is their nemesis who tries to catch the female octopus and prepare her for a dish. The comical chase takes place in a small Greek town. At the end of the story octopuses successfully escape from the vengeful cook, but as soon as they find each other, a seagull flies over and snatches away the male octopus. The other octopus determind to get her partner back from the evil hands, flies after the seagull.

It appears to me that this is a never ending story where the octopuses will struggle to find each other and become separated endlessly. I thought that the message of this movie was "People have to struggle forever when they go against their fate and tries to obtain their freedom." 

The movie reminded me of Fiding Nemo. After I watched Oktapodi couple of times, I also watched another short video called Fugu which also had a similer story line. Link below if anyone is interested.
