"WISH YOU WERE HERE", well, sort of, it's fine if you stay away....



 

This morning I awoke to another lovely gift from Aeon



It's a very fishy story about a shop in London which sells little fishies for the aquariums of its slightly eccentric customers.


This short film has a most appropriate title...


"Bubble"


Director: Eleanor Mortimer

Sadly I can't download the whole film but you can see it by hitting this link:

For some reason it brought back the Pink Floyd song


"Wish you were here"


I guess that was because of these lines:


"We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl

Year after year"



There's also a trailer available on Youtube or Vimeo but what's the point of viewing a trailer when the film is only 14 minutes long?


Hope you like,

    Such a lovely short film which is so relaxing to watch and a perfect tonic for lockdown blues.

    Thanks Amanda, we agree on this matter...
    but can you go to your local aquarioum supply shops and talk to the little fishies these days?
