이 이야기는 죽음을 목격한 어느 수영선수의 이야기이다.
어린시절 대부분의 시간을 물에서 보낸 주인공은 해변에서 죽은 돌고래를 마주하고 동질감을 느낀다.
“This story is about a swimmer who witnessed death.”
It begins with the autobiographical experience of a director who spent most of her childhood in the water. The main character, who suffered from skin disease, finds that no treatment was useful but the time spent at sea cured her. Returning to the city, the main character register the swimming center because she continue swimming in salt water.However, the main character, who becomes a swimmer, is forced to swim in chemicals as well as salt water. She goes to the beach for volunteer work and finds dead dolphins there.This director's experience is seen as a substitute for the reality of being skeptical of herself, who is aware of the destruction caused by marine pollution and meat eating after growing up, but is unable to practice it perfectly in daily life. So the dolphin that I met in the past during volunteer work overlaps with me. How should we live and how should we look at the death we contributed to?
