This is a narrative stop-motion film that takes place in a picture. Brothers get balloons from a tiger mascot at an event. The older brother tries to take little brother’s balloon as well as his own one and little brother’s balloon breaks during the fight. Little brother cries and escapes into the outside of the picture. The tiger mascot takes off his helmet, and inside there is the little brother from 20 years later. Little brother (as an adult) demands an apology from the older brother, but he refuses to comply. Now the little brothers (from present and from the future) formulate a plan for the revenge.

Before I create this film, I was looking back through my family photo albums. My family had many problems, but none of negative memories was found in photos because photos are usually taken when we’re happy. Looking at photos of only happy moments, I realized that my memories were being washed as if my childhood didn’t have any trouble. I wanted to preserve the memories that are not captured in the photographs and created this film.
