Synopsis
Originally adapted from the Southeast Asian folktale The Mousedeer Crosses the River. The short film not only presents an interpretation of the original story, but also considers the general principles and morphology of folk tales as a form of narrative container. The symbol of a mirror, which reflects identity, is used in the work as a metaphor for this narrative container. Like the fractured perspective of the fly's compound eyes, discussing cultural flow, identity, and connections between universal and local allegorical experiences.
