Summary:
A boy who likes to imagine things was sitting on the beach alone. He found a fish jumping on the beach、 so he decided to put the fish in the pond. When he was watching the pond、 a mermaid appeared. Then、 the boy went to his house with the mermaid and showed the mermaid to his parents. However、 from his parents sight、 the mermaid was only seen as a fish. Since the country prohibited free imagination、 the police brainwashed the boy that the mermaid is a fish. Then、 the boy ran away from the police and went back to his house and realized that the mermaid was a fish. He returned the fish to the pond and sat alone on the beach again. The police caught up with the boy、 so he walked to the sea with the fish. The、 the fish and the boy both became a mermaid and swam together to the horizon.
Message:
I thought the creator was trying to show the Japanese society's problem. Japanese society consider group behavior important. That is a good point、 but also a bad point of Japan. Group behavior makes individuallity's personallity disappear. The video tried to tell that we need to respect each person's characteristic.
Ending:
I thought the boy and the mermaid is going to go to the place where it accepts them. The country where they were wasn't a place that accepts them、 so they decided to ran away to the place that fits them.
