Goodbye, Fishies

About This Movie

Goodbye, Fishies is a contemplation on memory and loss, captured through an unconventional storytelling lens. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative, allowing viewers to slip into the emotional state of Lookpla, the young Thai mother grappling with her grandmother's fading presence. What sets this short apart is its blend of scripted and improvised scenes, drawing from the cast's own experiences, which gives it a raw authenticity. The atmosphere is tinged with nostalgia and longing, often evoking a sense of unresolved farewells. Performances feel natural, as if we’re privy to real moments rather than staged ones, making it resonate on a personal level. It’s a unique exploration of how we carry our loved ones with us, even when distance seems insurmountable.
