Kujira no Chouyaku

Beside an ocean that seems as solid as glass, an old man lives at a remarkably slow pace of time. A whale begins to rise from the water, its leap unfolding over hours as onlookers gather to watch.

The prolonged moment gives strangers time to exchange memories and stories while the world moves almost imperceptibly around them. Their encounters gather around the suspended whale and a sea that challenges ordinary expectations of movement and distance.
