The fan and the flower

In this story are the lonely ceiling fan which falls in love with the flower in the pot. As for the setting of the story, it is mainly about things happen in one room of an old lady’s house. The fan is in conflict of the flower so it is Person vs. person conflict. 

The flower first shows no interest in the fan but eventually gives into his sincere appeal. Those two in love try to touch each other but are not able to in the distance from the ceiling to the table. The old lady forgets about the two as she ages and the flower becomes dried up and weaker. The fan realizes the flower is dying. 

He sacrifices himself and makes a hole on the ceiling so that the flower can be watered again to survive. And next comes the climax of the story which the flower blooms a flower in shape of the fan after being planted from the pot to the garden. The flower never forgets the fan.

This video was made in black and white. The only element that has a color in it is a flower. This symbolizes that the flower was the only thing that brings colors into the fan’s life. The rain at the climax does not only mean water for the flower but also the symbol of goodbye. The irony in the video was that a fan and a flower fall in love only to be never together.


What I figured out the theme of the video is “Love is not necessarily about being together but about asking nothing in return”. Even though they are never able to be together, the flower will never forget what the fan has done for her and live forever together in her memory.
