Standing next to a water reservoir in a monastery enclave, a monk sees a fish and goes to get his net to catch it. The fish eludes him and the monk gets agitated as he tries increasingly extreme ways of catching it. The more the fish manages to evade him, the more obsessed the monk becomes. The meaning is open to interpretation, and this Oscar-nominated short is both amusing and spiritually profound.
