Gill poster

Gon was on the verge of death when suddenly, gills started to grow and he could breathe again. Kang Ha and his grandpa rescue Gon, and together they become an odd family.  Jae-huun Ahn is the director of Meditation with a Pencil, a Korean animation studio, whose previous critically-acclaimed works, including GREEN DAYS and THE SHAMAN SORCERESS, are described as pictures with healing power and colours with emotion. GILL is a story about the sad fate of people with their own scars and explores life’s paradoxes, blessings and curses as it encourages you to think about your own “gills”.
