Overview

A man dedicates himself to zen meditation to save the world. After meeting a prophet rabbit named Galileo, he sets on a journey for further enlightenment.

Review

The film starts with one actor and one rabbit in a small room and soon expands its stage into the whole universe with the surreal animation following. The wits and ambition of then-young directors Kim Taeyong and Min Kyudong outstand in the film, which captures the apocalyptic atmosphere of the end of the century through various means of expression such as mime acting, sound effect, and animation effects, conveying the great question about human destiny. (KIM Yoonbeom)
