Plot:
A lonely mute woman, an unemployed "comrade" Gilles, a black female worker with a lazy husband,
They exist as insignificant as dust, reflecting each other's loneliness, and unexpectedly becoming each other's support.
During the Cold War, Alyssa, a mute girl, was a cleaning lady in a government laboratory.
When she was young, a serious illness robbed Alyssa of her voice, and she has lived a lonely life in silence ever since.
One day, a high-security alarm goes off in the lab, and a mysterious jar filled with water is sent in, and Alyssa is shocked to find that the jar contains a strange creature that is half human, half fish.
The team of scientists wanted to refine the monster with a substance that could make biological weapons, but in Alyssa's eyes.
It was nothing more than a lonely creature like herself, and Alyssa began to sneak in on the monster because she couldn't stand the torture of the monster in the lab.
A story of "all the marginalized people hugging together to fight against the dark world", the film won the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.
