Moemi is not overly pleased when Yukio brings home a couple of turtles to keep her company. Although Yukio works at home as a writer, Moemi feels neglected and desired a dog or a cat, but neither is allowed in their apartment.

"Really tie me up."
Love that grows apart due to dissatisfaction and incompatibility. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a marady of love. Possessiveness and isolation are the true forms of a bond(rope). Another dream sequences by Shunji Iwai the goat. And yet again we blessed with piano melodical masterpiece. This one does not more complex than the other do, i think it just hits the layer of metaphorical basic that i could understand it is a short film, although, it stills a poetic pieces.
