The Sea tells the story of a cat and a goldfish. A hungry cat and a goldfish, who doesn't want to end up as a snack... to escape, the fish has a long way to go... A fantastic pursuit that starts in a glass bowl and doesn't even stop on the Moon, giving wings to the fish and to fantasy. A silent voyage, where every stroke of the pencil evokes a sound - the air amidst the clothes hanging out in the sun, the rustling of leaves - and the eloquent glances that better than words translate the feelings of pursuant and pursued.
