Overview

No matter your age, part of you never outgrows high school, for better or worse. This film is about friends overcoming their differences and having each other’s backs in times of crisis.

• Review

  An imaginative animation about a sinking school and of happenings between student peers. It is a witty short of the fights brought by misunderstandings between Dash in his sophomore year and his best friend Asaaf that revolve around images of a collapsing school. Dash realizes that the school is in danger of collapse and warn his friends in the cafeteria but is instantly ignored. The following images of a sinking school are more figurative than real. The school begins to sink into the ocean and students must stay afloat in order to survive. But obstacles do not make this easy. My Entire High School Sinking into the Sea presents a charming drama of the drop\s and climbs of school life while it symbolizes the obstacles to friendship between students. [LEE Sang-yong]
