A painter has lost inspiration. He decides to buy a fish, and paint it. But the experience turns out to be dramatic. Who really is in the tank? The artist or the fish? A 1 minute short movie about the link between freedom and creativity, based on a true story

Director Statement

As a painter, I continuosly look for inspiration. I thought that using a fish as 'model' could be interesting. But the experience has been dramatic: I could not accept that my creativity was limiting the fish's freedom. "In the tank" analyzes the link between these two concepts, i.e. is a reflection on freedom and creativity.
