The Glass City

Yee-tou cannot recover from her sorrow at her fiancé’s death. Her admirer Heem with a quiet and introverted character is kind enough to take care of her. Deeply depressed, she resists taking her medication and suffers from frequent hallucinations. Eventually she kills herself in front of Heem, who is consequently infected by her depression, and keeps a tank of goldfishes at home. From a glass fish tank to our world, are we living in a true world or is life an illusion? “The Glass City” is a love story with sad sentiments mentioning the limitations in life as if goldfishes living in a glass tank.
