A lonely fish, hooked by an angler’s line, encounters another in the same dire situation. As the two struggle, they develop an inevitable, entangling attraction. Is it love or merely a will to survive?

In this unusual romance, hand-tinted sand, becomes a metaphor for two souls as they join and separate.  With a radical new approach to sand-animation, Corrie Francis Parks tells this fluid tale of love and entanglement...
