Synopsis
In an infinitely vast space, a woman, a man and a fish illustrate a flow of questions about perception. Pixillation and stop-motion animation enhance audience doubts about reality in Marie Valade's whimsical and playful test of how we see and perceive when watching 3-D films. This film was made as part of the 6th edition of the NFB's Hothouse apprenticeship.
