How do we navigate intimacy both defined and confined by institutional walls?
How do we seek closure when unfolding the past feels like tearing up an old wound?
In the “tank” ruled by fear, surveillance, and control, two queer “fish” embark on a wave-like, poetic quest for truth and freedom. But how can they truly escape – through love, death, or something beyond?
