“Of what value is my soul to me? I cannot see it, I may not touch it, and I do not know it.”
For the love of a mermaid, a young fisherman wishes to abandon his soul, and he did. His Soul wandered around the world alone for years, yet returned to the shore every year and called for the Fisherman. The Soul tempted the Fisherman with good and evil to reunite with him.
Adapted from Oscar Wilde’s tale of the same name, it’s about the connections between love, body, soul, and the human nature to have mixed emotions.
「靈魂對我來說有甚麼用呢？我看不到它，也碰不到它，更不認識它。」
年輕的漁夫愛上了人魚，並為了與愛人生活在一起而捨棄了靈魂。靈魂隻身遊蕩了世界數年，卻年年回到岸邊呼喚著漁夫，想方設法地想與漁夫重新團聚。
同樣身而為人，對於生命裡的物質與精神，你會怎麼衡量呢？
