Along the way, Alan encounters a series of characters—each convinced they hold the answer. Their conflicting beliefs and attempts to impose their versions of the truth gradually shape, challenge, and distort his quest. What begins as an innocent pursuit of knowledge becomes a surreal and unsettling odyssey, culminating in a darker, more ambiguous ending.

One of the film’s most meaningful moments features a 2,000-year-old Roman mosaic from Pompeii, depicting a sea life scene. I sourced the artwork from the Archaeological Museum of Naples and brought it to life through modern animation techniques, a deeply rewarding fusion of ancient art and contemporary motion.
