荣誉：1963年威尼斯国际电影节圣马可金狮奖1963奥伯豪森国际短片电影节最优秀奖及其他奖项导演点评：本片可以说是《人类动物园》的变奏作品。两者的主题是一致的，本作同样也使用了武满彻先生的音乐磁带“Vocalism·AI”。谷川俊太郎先生又为我写了一首诗，配音还是水岛弘先生和岸田今日子女士。本作在海外也很受欢迎。

一种奇怪的睡眠病在士兵之中蔓延开来，患病的士兵们噩梦缠身，纷纷被送往了一处临时诊所之中接受治疗。金吉拉（金吉拉·潘帕斯 Jenjira Pongpas 饰）是一名平凡的家庭主妇，亦是医院内的志愿护士，乱世之中，这座似乎与世隔绝的医院仿佛世外桃源般宁静且充满了启示。阿肯（雅琳帕特拉·鲁安格拉姆 Jarinpattra Rueangram 饰）是一位灵媒师，她通过通灵的方式使家属们和那些患病的士兵们相见。莱特（班罗普·洛罗伊 Banlop Lomnoi 饰）亦是这些士兵之一，可是一直没有任何人来探望他，他的存在引起了金吉拉的注意。莱特有一本记满了奇怪图案和文字的笔记本，也许事件的答案就埋藏在其中。

Byeong-tae (Yoon Mun-seob), a philosophy major at Y University, goes to a group blind date and meets Young-ja (Lee Young-ok), who studies French literature at H University. The young men and women of the 1970s, who have grown up under the influence of a rapid influx of Western culture, agonize over college issues, family conflicts, and their future paths in life. But such struggles are self-derisive, and they can see no tomorrow waiting for them. Between Byeong-tae and Young-ja, there is no promise of love, of any kind. They simply meet, and exchange meaningless conversation. Meanwhile, Yeong-cheol (Ha Jae-young), who always rides a bike and declares every time he drinks that he will set off in search of a whale, has feelings for another girl he met on the blind date, named Sun-ja (Kim Young-suk). But Sun-ja rejects Yeong-cheol, who stammers, has no prospects, and was even turned down for military duty due to health reasons, and he falls into despair. With nothing to look forward to, Byeong-tae and Yeong-cheol head to the sea. Yeong-cheol, who boasted that he would catch a beautiful whale in the East Sea, commits suicide, and Byeong-tae enlists with the military. Young-ja comes to see him off, even though she said she wouldn't see him any more, and the two of them kiss through the open window of the train that will carry Byeong-tae away.
